Packing list
by miasmisadventures
It’s not long now until we head off to Panama (hurrah!) and so I’m now starting to think about packing. I know I still have five weeks left, which you’d think is plenty of time, but there’s lots of bits and bobs to gather such as medications and so I find it’s best to start thinking of it in advance so as not to be left in a manic rush around the shops last minute. So I thought I’d share my packing list with you in case it’s of any use to any novice travellers among you, or for anyone who finds themselves in a last minute packing hell. Obviously everything won’t be relevant for you but hopefully you find most of it helpful.
