DAVID'S PACK LIST
 

    Everything is wrinkle-resistant and color coordinated. Most items fold or roll very small. I know that it looks like a lot of clothes, but they actually take up very little space. Since we will be travelling back and forth between cold and warm climates, we need to be prepared. Note that many items were sent home along the way and others purchased to replece them.
