But WHAT WILL I WEAR?!

For some reason..every time I think about packing/dressing/life, I think of that quote:  “But WHAT will I WEAR??” (anyone? Jim Carey in The Grinch!)  Anyways...this has been one of my biggest challenges.  Not because I had no idea what to pack – there is no shortage of RTW packing lists on the web – but because I am an indecisive procrastinator.  Don't be like me...I packed the day before I left.  So here we have the list.  MY list.  

 

Bags

Osprey Farpoint 55 – main pack (40 L) with detachable daypack (15 L)

Over the shoulder purse

 

Packing Aids:

Eagle Creek packing cubes

Zip lock bags

Large Compression sack

In Large Compression sack:

1 pair jeans

1 pair yoga pants

1 pair leggings

2 pairs cotton shorts

1 pair jean shorts

1 pair khaki travel style shorts (instead of 2nd pair of jeans)

1 shirt dress (pictured with shirts)

In red half cube (2 sided):

1 long sleeve baselayer shirt

1 convertible long sleeve shirt

2 short sleeve shirts

3 tank tops

1 cami

1 12 way convertible dress (not pictured)

In black half cube:

2 swim suits

1 pair swim shorts

7 underwear

2 bras

2 sports bras

3 socks

In small toiletry bag:

tooth brush

tooth paste

Imodium

vitamin B1 tablets

nail clippers

tweezers

hair ties/bobby pins

q-tips

razor and blades

ear plugs

eye liner

floss

vaseline

comb

In gallon zip lock:

shampoo

conditioner

face wash

sunblock

bug repellent

Other stuff:

eye pillow

wet ones

alarm clock

headlamp

silk sheet liner

ibuprofen

hand sanitizer

first aid kit

steri pen

deodorant

1 large travel towel

1 small travel towel

extra batteries

empty zip lock bags

1 combo lock (for lockers)

rain jacket (folds into it's own pocket)

collapsable water bottle

Seagate external hard drive

extra camera battery and memory

Shoes:

Nike lunarglides

Roxy flip flops

Havaianas flip flops

It all fits decently into my bag:

In my carry on:

iPad and keyboard (which doubles as the case)

Olympus Tough camera 

fleece jacket

note pad/pens

chapstick

file folder with needed documents

I'm quite sure I overpacked, but a good portion of the weight is coming from the full size bottles of shampoo and conditioner!  Since I am going to be in Cenreal America for 2 months, I decided this would be the better route - as opposed to buying travel sized constantly.  I will try to update this list as I get rid of things or come to my senses.  :)
