Well, the time for packing had to come eventually. After a pleasant couple of days spent gorging ourselves over the Thanksgiving holiday at Carrie's parents' house in Auburn, we came home to the uneviable task of packing for 28 days. And trying to fit it all into one backpack a piece in the spirit of "travelling light." The picture on the left shows what went into my pack and carry-on, just under 60 pounds worth of clothes and gear. Carrie's spread was somewhat less because her clothes are smaller and she isn't gear-obsessed, but she also has a smaller pack. Managed to get it all in. Now we spend the next 24 hours waiting with baited breath before we leave. Hoping that we remember anything we forgot before we actually leave. Oh, and scarfing down tasty Thanksgiving leftovers. Yum.
