Packing
18 Things You Don’t Need on Your Packing List : TravelBlogs.com

Some helpful packing tips. Although I don’t agree with the suggestion on jackets and towels. I usually bring a good breathable rain jacket, which serves as rain gear as well a windbreaking shell. Couple this with a good fleece and you are good to go down to around freezing.
Some of my favorites…
- Keen Newport Sandals – These and a pair of flip-flops were all I took for 2 weeks in Thailand and 9 days in Costa Rica. That includes 3-day jungle hike with full backpack, mountain biking, white-water rafting, and kayaking. They are the ultimate adventure travel shoe.
- Ex Officio Boxers – A couple pairs of these are all you need for any trip. Dry one pair while wearing the other.
- Osprey Kestrel 48 – The ultimate carry-on. For the ladies, try the Talon 44. About same capacity and alot lighter.
- REI Multitowel – I don’t agree with the towel comments in this article. This REI towel does not take up much space and performs very well. I also use it for my daily swim workouts when I don’t feel like taking two bags to work.

Thailand Packing List
by Brian on Oct.19, 2008, under Packing, Travel
In preparation for my 14 day adventure trip to Thailand, I have come up with the following packing list. I will be using a 48L Osprey Kestrel backpack which when full, should be around the limit of most carry-on restrictions. I am hoping to not totally fill up this pack on the trip over there, so I should be ok to carry on this pack and not have to deal with checking(losing) it.
