I love the packing list! But I always loose ear plugs while traveling. One falls on the floor of the bus and rolls somewhere and I never see it again. I would bring at least 2 pairs of earplugs. Or you could always buy more as you go!

Thanks for sharing your personal list. Justin and I are still sorting out exactly what we will bring in our backpacks when we leave on 09-30-08. We are going to backpack and explore various countries for a year or so. I would love to know any or all advice to us. www.nomadbackpackers.com
