Things Not to
Forget
Earplugs
We have some of these
and they're great
Light
The Zipka
is so handy as its small, powerful and you can wear it on your head or
wrist.
Photo
backup plan
Too
many people fall foul
of the corruption gods (or thieves) and lose photos. We had a
multilevel approach putting
photos online (flickr.com)
as often as
possible while also downloading the memory cards regularly to a
portable hard
drive device and burning DVD copies (one to carry one to
post) regularly.
Memory
Key with applications
So useful in internet
cafes with slow connections. Put some applications on it and you are
away. (Start
Here)
- Skype
- Firefox portable
- Flash card file recovery program (because cards do get corrupt but
you
can save your shots)
- Photo resizing software
- Scans of your passport, travel insurance and visas
- Some music for those noisy internet cafes
- IM client
Quality
quick drying clothes
We have found our
investment in these high tech materials to be worth every cent.
Materials like Capliene/Dri fit/Coolmax make travelling some much more
comfortable in all conditions.
Point
It Book
This little gem never leaves my pocket. Invaluable for working out
which animal those eyeballs are from in the night market (+ heaps of
other food/accom/item photos to help you out)
Some
Swag from home
Don't underestimate the power of some postcards, keyrings and pins from
home to bridge communication gaps, entertain and reward new friends
Pocket
Calculators
One each , always on the ready for negotiating hotels or that nice new
beer Laos t-shirt.
Noise
reducing headphones + mp3 player
These headphones are the business for train or planes. Compact, great
sound and they let you switch off from all around you. We have Etymotic
ER6i.

Carries...(Now its worth noting our approach here. We are carrying more
than we need, in sme cases twice as much clothes - this is using some
logic that stuff will break/wear out and we will need to replace, which
is difficult for this type of stuff in these sizes...hence the extra
pants, t-shirts etc.
We are also packing for all climates)
