Hey everybody!
The adventure officially begins tomorrow though it actually started about a month ago
The last month has been a wild mess of visa applications, calling banks, buying flights (thanks skyscanner!), booking tours, scouring forums for tips on for example buses between Bilbao and SJPP and of course getting packed
And this post is really about the last getting packed bit. As some of you know it will only be a 22 litre daypack that I'm taking on this round the world trip, and I'm calling her "Charlene" in tribute to Private Pyle in Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket
Charlene my baby is my companion for the next while, here are all the goodies she's carrying for me......
4 shirts
0 jumpers (too bulky)
1 shorts
1 pants
3 undies
3 socks
1 light rain jacket
1 vest
1 head torch
1 sunnies
1 universal adaptor with 2 usb charging cables and an otg cable with usb stick
1 tablet (writing on it now)
2 smart phones
1 money belt incl travel documents
8 credit cards (faaaaarrrk!)
1 blow up pillow
1 sleeping bag
1 sleeping bag liner
Little goodies: hand sanitizer, suncream, toothpaste, dental floss, face cream, hair gel, toothbrush, deodorant, towel, electric shaver, tweezers, mini firstbaid kit
How does she fit it all?
Good question I don't really know, however she does fall within Ryanair's mean allowance of 50 x 30 x 20 cm and comes in at a little over 6kg
I do cheat slightly too as the vest is usually strapped to an external side pocket
