One thing about being in a special nation helped me focus in on precisely what we wanted, and since we pack in carry-on baggage, nothing greater than that. I anticipate loads of mixing and matching of our staple wardrobe items.

I plan to come back again to this put up after our journey and tweak the list- what are we so glad we had? What did I not must deliver? What would have been useful to have?
