So, after compiling the list the other day, I realized there were a few things I left off, and some details I left out. First of all, the towel. A Towel is very important. Normally, I would take a backpacker’s towel, which are made out of this microfiber super absorbent material, is smaller than a regular towel, and dries faster. For this trip, I’m using a shamwow, which is the same material as the more expensive backpacker’s towels, but cheaper and available everywhere.
The laptop: it kills me to say this, but packing light isn’t everything. I’m taking the big one.
Not pictured, but packed: A water filter, which was strongly recommended to me. We’ll see if I really need it.
And two more things, especially for travel anywhere with mosquitos: A sawyer extractor, and a bottle of 100% DEET. The extractor is for use on any kind of bug bite, sting, or even snake bite. The do wonders for itching bites, anyway. The DEET is to keep from getting bitten when I’m in an area with a lot of bugs. It works.
And this is what it all looks like:
