It's been a while since I've been on a long trip, and I've been putting off packing. I've been told it's warm so I should expect to wear shorts, a short-sleeve shirt and sandles/flip-flops. I think I should be pretty happy with this dress code!
Niels divided up the items we're bringing for the students. We have a 50 pound per checked bag limit. I have the stuff I'm bringing spread out on my bed. For the kids there are cameras to be used in the photo portfolio project, as well as books, bookmarks and pens, markers and pencils. Many of the books were donated by the Encinitas Kiwanis Club.
Then there's my stuff: reading material for the flight, passport, visa (which I was able to get off a Cambodian website), "just-in-case" meds like Cipro if I eat the wrong thing, Malaria medication for the trip to Angkor Wat, Pepto Bismol (my father told me I had to bring it), a water bottle with a filter (in case there's no bottled water available), ipod, headphones, and my new Lenovo Ideapad Netbook to stay connected.
