Here’s a rough version of what I’m thinking for India:

Okay, now I will list the current list of things I will be bringing, because that’s what I’ve been thinking about the most. Comments are welcome.- passport, international drivers license (with motorcycle permit!), US drivers license, ISIC- 4 shirt layers: red techy t-shirt, long underwear shirt, button down shirt, warm sweater- 2 pants layers: long underwear pants and REI light hiking pants- gym shorts for sleeping, or perhaps a lungi. I’ve heard these are very useful.- 2 underwears- windbreaker (“marathon jacket”- it’s something stupid like 3oz, size of an apple.)- 2 pairs of socks - Tekol is the brand I’ve liked the most- earplugs- phone (it’s a camera, notepad, etc.), headphones, and usb cord- kindle (same USB as my phone; woo)- computer: need to buy this still. Looking at a 10" 3lbs netbook.- toiletries: toothbrush, toothpaste, glasses/case, contacts/solution, floss- medicine: allergy medicine, malaria pills- shoes- I have some Vivo Barefoot shoes coming in the mail. Hopefully these will be good for walking a lot.- sandals? my Chacos? they are not light. Anyone tried these?- backpack: which? I will figure this out after I see how big everything is.- gifts from Seattle for hosts/friends: what? ideally something small and light, but still nice. Maybe someone sells nice little Space Needle statues.- and one bottle of Armani Code Black perfume, for my Bhutanese tour guide. His request. ’s all good, I guess.
