What to bring, What to bring….
Okay–there’s a mystery trip about two months away that has some pretty hefty restrictions on what I can bring. For starters: I’m only allowed 15lbs TOTAL for luggage, it has to fit inside a ridiculously small carry-on restriction that means roller bags & suitcases are out, and essentially only a school-sized backpack or handbag is in. Checked bags are not an option. Oh–and whatever’s in there has to last me a solid two weeks.
….I can practically hear the sissies gasping in horror and crying already 😛
When ‘Packing Light’ Gets Taken to extremes
It leads to massive logistics issues. Luckily, I’ll be able to do a dry run/test run on these restrictions BEFORE the two week trip to see if it’s possible to pack what I need while abiding by those merciless restrictions, but I’m curious to hear your thoughts. I will say that the restrictions I mentioned above are absolute, and they exist for a good reason–I’ll be traveling to a very delicate, protected environment, and the people running it want everyone fortunate enough to visit to have a minimal impact on the surroundings. It will be warm, with lots of sun, physical activity, and water, and I’ll be going with James. So with that in mind–
What do you see as being absolute necessities?
I want to know your thoughts–because this really is kinda like a pack & go Survivor trip. If I don’t have it with me in the backpack, I may not have access to it when I get there. So—let’s hear it subbies: What would you pack for a two week tropical adventure to remote areas where there’ll be lots of sun, water, physical activity, and a hunky fiance; that could fit inside a small backpack, and not weigh more than 15 pounds?
