I'm going to talk about my Top 10 Essentials for Israel. Obviously this is a little bit different from a normal roadtrip/vacation in the US. I just started my packing list today. see: packing list, not actually packing. I leave in less than 3 days. Procrastination much?
1-iPod with awesomesauce music. Music is essential to life, therefore make it
2-Journal! I got this adorable journal from Target. I've already been writing in it and can't wait to fill it with pictures and notes!
3-Chacos. I LOVE mine! so comfy and will be perfect for hiking Masada and walking around town too!
4-Camera: see also, extra memory cards, batteries and a case!
5-Passport: this is pretty important. I would post a picture, but i will spare y'all the grief of looking at it. Apparently when I went the "law" had just changed. (umm what law says that you can't smile in passport pictures but whatever!) so, i have a lovely mugshot against a big white wall for my passport profile. lovely.
6-Money. For souvenirs of course. So far, I've been asked to bring back a scarf, a wooden camel, a coffee mug, a crossbody, woven by a little jewish women bag, and some mineral salt scrub from the dead sea for "exfoliation purposes"
7-My Bible: I will be reading, highlighting, and marking it up so I don't forget 1 thing! I'm so excited for this trip.
8-Bathing Suit: The Dead Sea, Sea of Galilee, Mediterranean Sea, and hotel pools! I can't wait to
9-Sunglasses. This too is essential to roadtripping. Traveling and walking with the sun shining in your eyes is not so fun. I have my eye on these!
10- Last but not least, Snacks! My roomie tweeted at me yesterday and said she bought me a box of Cheez-its! The girl knows the way to my heart already! She is also bringing granola bars and chex-mix. Our room will be too much fun!
What are your packing essentials? anything you want to throw my way for international trips would be greatly appreciated!
Happy Tuesday!
