Packing List

"Travel light."

This is the constant advice we have received in preparing for this trip. However, our admittedly unfinished itinerary takes us through northern England in November before heading to southeast Asia, a decidedly warmer climate. It is difficult to plan a limited number of outfits for such a range of temperature possibilities! We are also backpacking, which limits our space and capacity to only what we can carry.

After seeking advice from our travel mentors (Thank you, Gretchen and Mark!), we have landed on the below packing list. Only time will tell if we are well prepared, at which point I will return to this post and make the requisite edits. Hopefully, this will not be the "once-in-a-lifetime" trip so many have referred to it as. Hopefully, this will be one of many adventures around the world. So while I am writing this post for my small band of supporters back home, I am also writing this for future Delaney, who can look back and laugh at whatever mistakes I am making here and can hopefully prepare better next time.
