Packing up

Let the adventure begin.  We are officially in the process of packing, as evidenced by the PODS container that now sits in our driveway (see pics below).  Over the past year or so, we have accumulated all the clothing, gear, etc. needed for our upcoming adventure, and now it's time to begin packing up everything that won't make the trip around the world. We will each leave a suitcase full of clothes for the time next summer when we return to the United States, and a smaller backpack full of various other items we might want to access, but otherwise, everything will go in the POD.  As we begin to load it up, we will post pictures of our progress.

Check back in the coming days for posts about what will be in our backpacks, including some decisions about gear, clothing, electronics, and whatnot.

You can find our basic itinerary on the "The Adventure" page.
