I finally started to pack last night. I've been working on a list for a while (using todoist.com), but it was different actually seeing all my stuff laid out on my bed. I suppose it's not so much a collection of the most important things I own, rather it's close to the bare essentials of what I need to live and enjoy myself. I documented my gear here. It needs some strategic planning to be packed correctly, but it's a start.
The reality of this crazy plan is starting to set in. One carefully selected clothing item at a time.

Plans on a Napkin!
As many of you know, I'm embarking on a 5-month or so romp around the Pacific Rim this fall. I will be staying on organic farms, hostels, with friends and maybe on a few semi-random couches. My itinerary (so far) is as follows:
- First, back to Santa Cruz August 31st.
- Then off to Japan Sept 9th. I'll be heading north to Hokkaido and follow the fall south, somehow getting to Okinawa and leaving October 17th.
- From October 17th - October 28th, I'm in Taipei Taiwan.
- Then I'm off to Melbourne Australia, with a stop-over in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
(I've got tickets for the above, the rest is tentative).
- From Melbourne (Oct 29th), I head up the Eastern coast to Cairns, with a quick jump into Uluru/Ayers Rock/Alice Springs at some point.
- Late December, I fly from Cairns to Auckland. I'll spend the next month and a half exploring both the North and South Island until late January.
- Lastly, I take a week or so in Fiji and head back to Santa Cruz until mid February.
-And then back to Philly.
Keep an eye out for more updates as I continue to make and modify plans.
