Packing List

When I first began traveling, I was the person who begged for toothpaste from my travel partner or found a random group of people with the map so I could tag along.  I never brought sunscreen, let alone think why I would need to bring a first aid kit.  However, aging and mor extensive traveling has taught me that it every group needs at least one person to be overly prepared and organized.  I am done to be the annoying mom carrying around 5 copies and the first aid kit.  I am down for adventure, but I know the best adventures that I have had always became humorous stories instead of regrets, because someone was prepared. And yes, I may only be sharing this information so that you will not judge me as I post my packing list....
