Packing 101

I am pretty proud of the PJ (pack job) that I have done for this trip so I figured I would share it with you. In the first picture you will see EVERYTHING I am taking on the trip.




Yep, 10 weeks and that is it. In case you can't decipher everything I'll give you the list--its pretty short:

1. 2 pair pants
2. 3 shorts
3. 1 long sleeve shirt
4. 3 short sleeve shirts (one w/ collar)
5. 4 pair boxers
6. 5 pair socks
7. 1 long sleeve Patagonia pull-over
8. 2 bandannas
9. 1 travel towel
10. 1 medicine kit (probably the 3rd biggest thing I am taking...thanks Dr. Sue)
11. 1 laptop
14. misc cables
15. travel wireless router
12. 4 books
13. 1 binder w/ hotel and flight confirmations
14. 1 travel pillow
15. 1 iPod nano
16. 1 pair sneakers
17. 1 pair Keen sandals
18. 1 swim suit

The rest of the pics will show all of that stuff packed into my nifty little Eagle Creek backpack--which really consists of two backpacks zipped into one. That way I can use one as a day pack once we are there.





Here is a picture of my school backpack for reference...



When I have worn the same shirt for a week straight I am really going to be thinking This Trip Was A Mistake....

I was thinking, maybe it's time to change the name of this blog. Instead of "This Trip was a Mistake," how about "Haunting Smalley's Dreams by making him picture Will in a 'Doo Rag was a mistake." And you brought two of them? I demand a photo section that documents Will wearing tha rag (either Deion or Tupac style will suffice) in all 35 cities.
