Packing for Peru

Sunday night we packed up our bags. We are trying to bring as little as possible. Our challenges with packing light include the need for cold weather gear (We will be seeing temperatures from 30 up to 80) and Joanna's need for camera gear.

See here to see everything we were planning to bring:



Then, I took out about 4kg worth of stuff (yes, some camera gear was pulled) and organized the items into packing cubes. The row shown on the back part of the bed is carryon/wearing. The stuff in the front is to be checked.



Finally, the items went into the duffel bags and the backpack.



There are still some last minute toiletries, paperwork, and the like, but the preliminary weights are 8kg and 9kg for the duffel bags. Then about 5kg for the carryon. There will be one more carryon backpack, and I imagine that we'll have probably 4kg per backpack in the end.

I'm very excited for our trip to start. =) Countdown to Thursday has begun.
