Notes: |
(a) Keep passport and copy separate. If by chance you lose the original having the copy may make it easier to get a new one. |
(b) In the US I leave the alarm clock at home and just use my cell phone. |
(c) A long sleeve shirt will come in handy for chilly nights and bugs. |
(d) Bring a swimsuit in case an unexpected opportunity arises. |
(e) It might get cold enough for hat and gloves, especially at night. |
(f) Bring a hat in case a shower isn’t possible…great ‘bad hair’ coverage. |
(g) Not all bathrooms have TP. You’ll be happy that you have some when you need it. |
(h) Bring clothes pins because they are handy. |
(i) A headlamp is handy after dark and for reading in bed. |
(j) I used to make fun of people with trekking poles. Five knee surgeries later they are a god-send. |
(k) Who knows when you’ll need a Ziploc bag, but when you do you’ll be glad you have a couple. |
(l) Clorox wipes can be used for dirty hands or things like remote controls and door handles. |
Some items I’ll wear to save space in my luggage. |
Things I’ll pack in my carry-on. Some because they will be handy to have and others because they are worth too much to me to leave in checked luggage. |
