Nepal Trip Packing List

A lot of people have asked us, what are you bringing?  Well, with our first stop being Nepal and our plans to trek about 85% of the time, we have really embraced our inner nerd.  I think we may be breaking every fashion travel "don't" there is - but we hope to be comfortable...and warm.

Here's a list of the items we are bringing, broken out by what Amanda has, and what Colin has.  Yes, Colin is carrying more, but it's all about 60/40 as my Dad would say.
