Packing

I am in packing mode getting ready for our trip to South America. Machu Picchu, the Ecuadorian Amazon, and the Galapagos are on our itinerary. In 2008 I was there, and I am excited to return to this beautiful region of the world.

Luggage is my concern at the moment. For Machu Picchu and the Amazon parts of the adventure, we will take only a small bag or backpack with us and leave the bigger bag at the last hotel. Maybe I should pack so lightly that a small bag is all I will need. I have done that on some previous trips and the only thing it limits is souvenirs. After all, I don’t really need more souvenirs, and it is impossible to purchase anything on a small ship in the middle of the Galapagos!

Oh well, i have almost completed gathering together possible things to take. We will see what happens.
