Packing light is not a foreign concept to us – we’ve been dabbling in backpacking for years. However, most of that travel was only for weekend trips – nothing on the scale of our honeymoon!
We went through several iterations on the final list. We were concerned both that we wouldn’t bring enough and that we were brining too much. So far we’ve been happy what we brought – very little hasn’t been used yet (sewing kit, umbrellas, whistle, pack towels, squishy bowls) and I don’t feel that I’m missing out (… well a corkscrew and a European phone would be nice).
Check out the video and our final packing list, which was based heavily on Rick Steve’s list.
