Packing - what I'm taking

Here's my list (and it's considerably longer than my BF's)....

Documentation and electrical

  3. More survival - eye mask, eye plugs for too loud, ear plugs for pressure
  4. ?travel pillow (may not make the final cut)

Underwear and footwear
  1. Under wear - 4 pairs panties, 3 bras, 2 pairs of socks - all in delicates/laundry bag x2 (one for dirty and one for clean) - you can use hotel hand-soap of need-be
  2. Thongs x2 pairs (off-road sandle-type and comfy/pretty type)
  3. Runners x1 pair (for early morning jogs and hiking volcanoes!)
Specialty-gear
  1. 1x set running outfit - knee-length running tights, sports bra 
  2. Swim wear - 1x bikini, ?1x one-piece (for diving)
  3. Scarves - another tough one to minimalist - may favourite travel accessory - prob 2
  4. Bad weather gear - multi-purpose rain jacket and ear-warming head-band
  5. Fancy purifying water bottle
Tops
  1. Singlets! - about 3 or 4
  2. T-shirts! - about 2 or 3
  3. Shirts! - about 2
  4. Cooler wear top - 1x cardigan
Bottoms
  1. Jeans! A must-have in any situation at any time! Im taking the pair that does casual and dressy.
  2. Cargo pant - comfy and roll-up into shorts.
  3. Skirts - difficult here because I love them - prob will cut-back to 2 - shorter and longer
  4. Dress - one stretchy-maxi and one sari-wrap
  5. Sarong - don't have one right now! WTF!? First Bali purchase....
Other accessories - none! Only the jewellery I'm wearing.

Books etc - none - only whats in the iPad and the Lonely Planet. I always imagine myself reading a book by the ocean/pool but it never happens.

Let's see if this fits in my suitcase or if I need to do my halving rule!
