This list is to make international travelling a bit more easy-oh. These are 20 things that my houesmates and I are really glad we brought - or really wish we would have. It's primarily for those of you traveling for more than one month, but would be useful for shorter-term missions as well. Hope this helps some of you someday...
1. iPod (don't forget to download some good sermons)
2. Cocoon sheet (aka. sleeping bag liner)
3. Travel pillow (ThermaRest makes GREAT roll-up ones)
4. Gravel or Dramamine (someone always needs it - trust me!)
5. Cold Medicine (Day and Night Quil)
6. Sports balls (soccer and volleyballs are best)
7. Duck tape
8. Head lamp
9. EXTRA 3oz plastic travel bottles
10. Rope (for clothes lines, hanging mosquito nets, and other repairs)
11. Carribeaners (just clip a few to your bag - you'll use em)
12. Good pocket knife (must be SHARP, with scissors)
13. Terry towel (get the big one - you'll use it more)
14. Cards for friends and family back home (it's GREAT to surprise them!)
15. Dr. Bronners 18-in-1 soap (but, don't solely rely on it)
16. Memory Stick
17. Baby wipes
18. Buff (http://www.buff.com.au/, I live in this thing up-country)
19. Bibles to give away
20. Small, but framed-photos of family and friends
And if you're staying for a couple months, I highly recommend buying your souvenirs for friends and family ASAP. Because you can decorate your home-away-from-home with all their stuff! Double blessing!! :)
Take care, my friends. Know that I miss and love you all very much!
