Woah!  We packed!  Ya know why?  ‘Cause our flight leaves this Thursday!!!  Oh my goodness; so excited!!!  Packing is always a challenge for me.  Thankfully, Zach is really good at it.  It also helps when you have tons of video and camping equipment and have to fit everything in two backpacks.  The solution this problem is basically to bring no clothes.  Following is our official packing list, if you’re interested.
