Now... My Packing List
Let’s just say that my list isn’t quite as exhaustive as the lists that they give on the packing website listed below… no – I will not be getting any shots before heading to Europe… and I seem to have misplaced my mictophone so I won’t be bringing that. Here is what I have so far (I weighed my stuff in my suitcase today and I think I am at about 30 lbs. including my sleeping bag – which technically doesn’t count in the weight of my luggage)…
Shoes
- Ecco walking shoes (I will be wearing these on the plane)
- Teva-like sandals
- Aldo ballet flats (for going out – they are just tiny little things – even given the size of my feet)
Clothes
- Two pairs of capris (right now one jeans pair and one khaki pair – I may narrow that down to one pair by the time I leave)
- Two pairs of jeans (these are not yet in the suitcase – and I will be wearing a pair so a total of three pairs)
- Black pants (for going out)
- Six t-shirts (they are Joe brand from Superstore – which incidentally is better quality than the Old Navy ones that cost more)
- Two dressier shirts (one short-sleeved, one tank – which I will only wear at night since I won’t be able to wear them in churches and stuff)
- Underwear and socks (the socks are the expensive ones from MEC that supposedly dry quickly and are double-layered to stop blisters and such)

Things I Still Need to Figure Out
- Sweatshirt??
- Jacket – I have one in mind but I am not sure if it will be enough for the top of Junfrau Mountain
- Toilet paper (I have heard the nightmares of the squatters!)
- Nintendo DS – to bring or not to bring… that is the question
- Bathing suit??? I am not sure if I am going to do the river rafting optional and I saw pictures on a blog and the girls were wearing bathing suits under their wetsuits…
- Backpack… I have decided on my largest MEC over-the-shoulder bag as my main means of carrying stuff – but the backpack may be nice to store stuff… who knows???
