Essential travel list...

How much stuff are you bringing with you on this trip? That seems to be the most often asked question that I get asked. Three months on a tandem bicycle has a significant impact on how much you can bring. In fact, the question really becomes, "what do we need?"


I was introduced to a man recently and his first question was, "how many pairs of underwear do you bring?" He really asked that like it was the most important question. I know that may not be driving your curiosity but I will provide our list and that answer will be included in the items.


Anyway, we are just weeks away and we have some packing to do so I will leave you with this thought. The things you think that matter the most, are really not things at all but people. People are precious and things are things. Hold on to those you love and let go of the junk that clutters your life. Travel light in your heart.
