We're in Florida at Brook's dad's house for a final visit and some last-minute preparations. We're battling winter colds (a little memory of frigid New England), but otherwise we think we're about ready. Our goal was to cram everything we needed for a year into two backpacks, and by jove we think we did it. That includes a tent, sleeping bags, other camping/cooking gear, photography equipment, travel gadgets, malaria meds, and clothing for a broad range of climates (think down coats to board shorts). We have to admit, it's a little messy and more stuff than we thought. But, we can cram it in backpacks and run for that early morning bus (or flight, or boat, or yak) if it comes down to it.
We've updated the Kit and Logistics page with more details on what we're lugging around, but the following photos should provide a (hopefully amusing) insight into what we're bringing along...

Very glad to see W&M will be represented across the globe! Safe Travels!
Hahaha that's awesome! Last year I met a Belgian guy 80 miles from the nearest town and 10 miles from the nearest leveled road in the middle of the Utah high desert in march with nothing more than a Walmart sleeping bag, a lighter, a poncho, a knife, a book, short shorts and a water filter. I don't know how he didn't freeze to death but God love him. I'll be following enviously. Have fun!
