Packing List

As promised, here's a more or less complete list of everything that I'm bringing to Jordan:

long-johns (x2)
wool socks- 1 pair each of light, medium, and heavy weights
Sealskinz waterproof socks (x2)
pants (x3)
long-sleeved shirts (x5)
thobe
kufis
khufs
coat
sandals
shawl
wool cap
gloves
sweaters (x2)
sprouting bags (x2)
compass
pocket knife
pocket Qur'an
book of litanies
prayer beads
pocket arabic-english dictionary
pens
pencils
composition books (x2)
notebook paper
3-ring binders (x2)
first-aid kit
electrolyte packets (x3)
allergy medicine
CD walkman
laptop
micro-cassette recorder
extra contact lenses and my eye prescription

These are the highlights. There were a few other little things that were too obvious to mention (my wallet, plane tickets, etc.). Believe it or not, with Allah's help, I got all of this into one small suitcase and a backpack.

I've got to hand it to wife. She's really doing an amazing job of getting her stuff in order. She only cried maybe three times tonight.
