| 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. | ||
