And the list grows on...

22 days left to take off! I've started working on my list of things I need to get done before I head out. Here's what I've got so far. Any other suggestions? Any fellow backpackers with some "essentials" for the journey?

*Insurance!
*Camera
*Visa(s)
*Backpack
*TSA locks
*Converter
*Water proof tennis shoes
*Flats for going out at night but still comfortable
*Small gifts for hosts I stay with along the way...(ANY SUGGESTIONS ON THIS?!?!)
*Eurorail Pass
*Travel size necessities & detergent

....is a backpack going to be big enough?? Oh my....starting to freak out! Breathe...breathe...breathe...

HoOt!
