Things we're packing for Peru:
- Camera - Nikon D60 (sorry to our Canon-snob friends)
- Laptop - Language school has wi-fi and we'll pretend that people want to read our blog and see our pictures
- iPod - Erin has it loaded with days worth of movies and tv shows
- USB headset to talk to friends over Skype
- Book on Peruvian culture
- Spanish / English dictionary - Seems like a no-brainer, but there's a good chance I'll forget it
- Books to read - Erin's starting the Twilight series, I'm undecided
- Altitude sickness pills - Don't think we'll be drinking the local solution to altitude sickness: coca leaf tea
- Cipro - if you've traveled, you know
- Sawyer water bottle with a built in filter - same filter Amor will be distributing but in a water bottle
- Quick-dry clothing that will get our picture into National Geographic magazine for sure
- Money belt - But really, don't all muggers know that we're wearing money belts??
- Rain ponchos
- Inflatable travel pillow - We leave Saturday morning and arrive in Peru on Sunday morning
- Voltage converter and adapter - Got to keep the first 3 items juiced
- And...underwear

That's it, I let you borrow my luggage and you make fun of me for my car sticker and obvious Canon mastery? I'm calling the Feds about your illegal movie downloading.
Very excited to hear about your trip, especially if you decide to try the local remedies!
I think the quick dry clothing is worth the trip. Fashionistas to the max.
Thanks for the inventory of what you are taking - we will use it to file an insurance claim if your luggage disappears.
katester- I'm not disputing your Canon mastery...I'm just saying some of us like to walk to a different, slightly cheaper drum.
dreaming of something bigger- we have had lots of coca tea. Not to worry...there's less than one leaf of coca in each teabag and it takes 500 leaves to make cocain!
wendy- I was afraid I'd miss your wit...thankfully it truly is a world wide web. At language school, with experienced world-travelers galore surrounding us, the quick-dry is king.
