Yesterday I wrote a post summarizing my women’s packing list for carry on only travel in South America. Today, Kevin has shared his list on what he is bringing on the trip. He has fewer total items of clothing, but they take almost the same amount of space as mine because they are so much larger. Also, he is toting some additional electronics including the DSLR camera and accessories (I have most of his personal care items, most of our electronics, and all the first aid).
Here’s what Kevin is bringing–minus the cat.
