Pack-a-palooza

This is it! As of last Monday, we are officially homeless. Out of our lovely little Portland apartment, all (okay, almost all) of our things packed away and awaiting our return in a 5x8 storage pod. For the next couple weeks we are visiting our beautiful hometowns, enjoying time with loved ones, and gearing up for our rapidly approaching departure. As we sold and packed the majority of our belongings, we narrowed it down: What are we REALLY gonna need? If we didn't "absolutely have to have it" we left it out. If we "absolutely had to have it", well, sometimes we left that out, too. We've been testing out some of our more crucial gear (good walking shoes, travel towels, zip-off pants, quick dry underwear, ya know, the whole-nerdy-9-yards) and making sure that we're only taking the bare minimum. You wouldn't believe how much stuff WON'T fit into a 75L backpack!~Jenna
