Preparing for the South America adventure

2011, the start of another year and the beginning of another adventure.  It won't be long before Meryl and I take off for our long (well perhaps not so long) South America adventure.  At this stage all the required vaccinations have been done (tick), most of the travel gear worn in and the trip paid for.  The challenge is to bring just the right amount of stuff but not too much.  Of course we will need to have room for the odd souvenirs.The best way to do this is to create a list and tick things off. Now to implement this good idea.
