We still have a few big-ticket items left to take care of before we leave, including getting our immunizations and altitude sickness medicine as well as picking up a few last items from REI. Rich and I both started packing by laying all of our trip clothes and particulars out on the bed in the guest room. So far, I have about three times as much clothing and gear as he does, but I have a feeling his pile will grow immensely over the next few weeks and we'll end up having about the same amount of gear. Rich still thinks I'll out-pack him, though. If shoes are omitted, there's no way! What do you think? Who's going to win this packing war?
