By far the hardest part of travel for me is the packing. My hard rule of “no checked bags and if you can’t carry it yourself don’t bring it” makes packing a challenge to say the least.  It also puts into perspective how much you think you need in life vs how much you actually need. Makes me grateful that being in Central America is more about what you’re doing and who you’re doing it with rather than what you’re wearing.  I can wear the same outfit a 100x and no one would even notice or care.  So wish us luck as we pack 3 weeks worth of items into a backpack…Guate bound in T minutes 9 hours.
