Here’s a rough packing list for the 11-day/12-pound trip:
TRIP’R IN EXCITING GRAYMAIN BAG (maybe a Western Flyer, TriStar if it arrives in time)
- One pair REI Adventure charcoal pants
- One white ExOfficio Trip’r l/s shirt
- One black poly s/s collared shirt (sorta cool)
- Two pairs poly underwear
- One ExOfficio white undershirt
- Ugly swimming trunks
- Uglier flip flops (we’re staying on the beach at Venice and may hit the beach in S. of France)
- Plastic regular hanger & plastic pants hanger (no need for clothesline with these)
- Marmot Precip rain jacket
- One pair Smartwool socks (naturally odor-resistant)
- 3-1-1 bag
- Disposable razor
- Charger for digital camera
Weight: 7 or 8 pounds
I LOVE BROWNDay bag (Tom Bihn Large Cafe)
- TB sleeve (Soft Cell)
- Samsung NC10 netbook
- Charger
- Adapter plug
Weight: 5 pounds
TOTAL ON-THE-SHOULDER WEIGHT: 12-13 pounds
Worn/pocket items
- Khaki Savane Cocona pants
- Gray ExOfficio Trip’r
- Khaki Orvis sportcoat
- Smartwool socks
- ExOfficio undies (shirt & boxers)
- Clarks leather lace-up shoes
- Canon digital camera
- Old iPod shuffle
I’ll tuck the day bag in the main bag to eliminate any possibility of gatecheck on the regional jet first leg. After that I’ll split them up so I’ll have two very light bags. Without the computer I’d be well under 10 pounds.
Cheats: My wife is checking so she’s carrying less than a pound worth of stuff for me including an item or two that would have landed in my 3-1-1 and a couple of extra AC adapters.
Things I may add: another poly under/casual shirt (not white), sink stopper, clothesline, microfiber towels that double as washcloths
More to come, with pictures…..
