Packing It In

Since my last post two more exciting things have happened. First, we got married again (sort of) by having a reception in Ohio for all of our family out there that couldn't make the trip to Philadelphia.

Then we found out that Jason passed the third and final exam to become a CFA charter holder! The tests are extremely difficult and passing rates are below 50%, so I'm incredibly proud of him.

Now we're four days from our departure for London and trying to figure out how to pack for four months of living on a ship and exploring both the northern and southern hemispheres. The temperature in the countries we're visiting will likely range from 55-85 degrees, so while there's no need for a very heavy jacket we will want lots of layers. Additionally, clothes should be relatively wrinkle proof and need to be able to stand up to the ship's industrial washer and dryer. I've learned from my previous experiences never to take my favorite clothes on international trips! We also need to pack school supplies, toiletries, lots of bug spray, cameras, computers, snacks, malaria medications, and our passports and other documentation, of course.

Any ideas on what we might be forgetting? It's not as if we can swing by and pick something up if we leave it behind!
