Dorky Hats and Backpacks

---

I think one of the most time consuming things to do for this trip is to pack for it. How do you travel for a month with one backpack and a daypack? I can't bring an outfit for each day but I can wash clothes along the way. I am traveling to three different countries and will be on the move alot so I can't take along lots of luggage. So after much debate I have decided what I am going to take with me and the verdict is not very much stuff at all. If I have to buy it while I am there then so be it. If I can't find that item on that side of the world then I have to ask myself how can millions of people do without that particular item. I am anxious to start my trip, which will happen in less then a week. So long and farewell, I am going to the Middle East!

Dorky Hat
What the hat loses in style points, it makes it up in functional necessity. It will hopefully keep my head, ears, and neck from frying in the desert sun!

Me and my Backpack
This is the backpack that will carry my stuff through the Middle East. That backpack and I are going to become good friends.

Have Fun
IF you don't have then do without. But always have your TP with you

What an adventure!
I just went to your site and see how you've organized. The photos are great and the opportunity before you extra-ordinary. I'm looking forward, with you, to your trip. Hope to send you off with a joyous Bracha (Blessing) on Thursday night. Shalom and L'hitraot (see you soon) Rosalind Horowitz
