Packing for Adventure

Andrew and I are off and away again!

Paragliding and trekking in Nepal; scuba diving in North Sulawesi, Indonesia; and a few days in each Hong Kong and Singapore. In addition to bringing our own gear for these activities, we're also bringing Claudio's tandem gear for him. (Claudio is our paragliding friend and instructor from Drayton Valley, AB and will be our paragliding guide in Nepal.)

The packing list that I did for a previous trip definitely came in handy for this trip and I knew where it was because I blogged about it. So, this is for my future use but if it helps anyone else, that's great!

The storm before the calm.
