Here’s a website we used to do some of our planning (Travel Independent). They recommend packing as light as possible. Unfortunately, Rachel and I are going to be traveling through a lot of climates and given my size, it’s difficult to just pick up clothing as I go. Here are some of the items we are bringing along, most of them, very light. I’ll make some reviews as soon as we put them to the test.

I’ve gotten a couple requests for a more comprehensive list of what we’ve got in our bags:
