   The TSA will hound you into submission if you bring anything in a bottle, a liquid of any sort, or anything that is ‘teh terrorist looking stuffz’. Hence, a Coca-Cola could be looked at as an advanced terrorist plot by bin Laden. And you could be asked to walk OUTSIDE the airport to DISPOSE of it yourself.

   Yes friends, this is what ‘airport security’ means today. I ride the Greyhound myself or take a cab.

   My favorite is jerky. But I don’t think your going to want that for a main meal. For that stick with the freeze-dried foods. Mountain House makes some pretty tasty meals that don’t weigh that much. Also grab a few pouches of tuna.

   Not knock Ramen noodles. But insead of all those empty calories why not carry some dried beans & rice. It doesn’t take up that much space or weigh all that much. But your going to get a more balance diet with it. After a day of hiking your going to need your protein & the beans will provide this for you.

   I know after being out all day a good meal is great. A few protein bars & a handful of trail mix just isn’t going to cut it for me.

   Traveling to Europe is like taking a ride in the pages of history books. You’ll be amazed at the multitude of places that has been standing there since the 18th century. You will also get to meet countless people of diverse backgrounds and cultures rooted in the Western end.

   if you’re willing to stay in hostels with shared bathrooms etc, it will onlt cost you $ 5-$ 10 per night. (no air conditioning!!) If you want your own room with AC, simple local hotels will prob cost as low as $ 25-$ 30 US. Local food is cheap… you can eat cheap for $ 10 day… just depends on what you want to eat. Bus, taxis etc are inexpensive.

   You can eat great street food for $ 1 a meal anywhere in Thailand.. there are backpacker style lodgings and low end places for $ 3 a night – sometimes but rarely less.. after that bus travel is reasonable – maybe $ 12 from Bkk – Chiang Mai for example – - so, it might depend on how quickly you are moving or staying in the same place.. of course, extras are extra – go out for a couple of beers and you might double your costs, but this should give you an idea of bare bones minimum.. – maybe another $ 1 a day for water… good travels

   I agree with Jennifer plus a copy of your tickets, insurance and itineraries in water proof zip bag.
2. Jayme Taylor says:

   Any chargers, any entertainment like a book, puzzles etc. Spare Underwear and tooth paste, roll on deodorant, Guide books, language books, ipod, photo copies of important documents (e.g. passport, flight tickets, travel insurance, itinerary, contact details of hotels).

   If your flight is really long, I’d bring a blanket and pillow with me. If it’s a long flight they’ll supply a set, but there’s are really cheap. You can bring a beach towel and a jacket just so you’re warm.
   Here are a few things I have though of and done myself:
   - snacks i.e. granola
   - deodorant
   - tooth paste and tooth brush
   - face wash(es)
   - mouth wash
   - spare socks (in case your feet get sweaty)
   - a tank top or long sleeve depending on the different weather temps you come across
   - brush or comb
   - lots of hair ties and/or headbands
   - your makeup kit
   - tampons/pads/midol
   - a baseball cap (you can turn the bill down and sleep, people won’t bother you)
   - books, puzzles, magazines, and other things to keep you busy.

   Make sure to bring:
   - passport
   - copies of documents like passport, id, insurance and tickets, and put each set of them in your luggages.
   - books and ipod, to kill your boredom
   - jacket
   - toothpaste and toothbrush
   - baby powder (sounds weird? but it’s helpful, you can use it when you are sweating too much or you can put a bit of it on your hair when it goes really gloss and you can’t wash it yet.)
   - prepare a set of spare cloth and sock, just in case you loss your luggage or have your flight delayed. So you don’t have to get stuck in a old and maybe sticky outfit.

   80 to 100 Euros a night, 80 to 100 Euros food a day, minimum. You’re not saying where, what you want to visit, how you want to travel, and my crystal ball is not working so you’ll have to look for the rest yourself.

   this sounds like you are a new hiker and so before you go off on a quest for “the best backpack” (which can cost you 300-800 bucks) … you might consider renting a backpack from REI or borrowing one from a friend and see if yuo like hiking first.

   As for the best, Go to REI or any major outdoor equipment store and try on the backpacks.

   What is best for you is what fits you best and allows you to carry a good load in it up and down steep slopes and uneven terrain without it swaying or moving about and without it making you ache or hurt or pushing or pulling you in uncomfortable ways.

   ALways load a backpack up with about 50 to 100 percent MORE weight than you think your packin weight will be … in the store …and adjust it as best you can then run with it, jump with it, go up and down stairs with it … walk backwards with it on … and make SURE if feels good on you.

   The two worst mistakes in hiking are the wrong or bad footware and a bad fitting backpack.

   Oh … and though this is not relevant to your backpack … it is to hiking … take lots of good high quality hiking socks and CHANGE SOCKS every hour or two … good fresh cushy … dry socks … will keep you from getting blisters and hurt feet in general. d

   Remember, most of the weight in a properly adjusted backpack should go on the hip belt … transfering the load to your pelvis … NOT on your shoulder straps …

   Oh … and do rememger the ten essentials … and that carrying an extra un-needed 100 lbs, while macho and oh so impressive, is a sure way to misery.

   Dont take more than yuo need, remember you have to carry it BOTH WAYS …

   wink

   I use a Osprey Aether back most of the time. It is very comfortable, great suspension, handles loads very well and very adjustable. The come in 60, 70 and 85 liter sizes. I use the 60 with a Osprey Daylite attached for more room/pockets and to use as a day pack from base camp. The Aether series starts at about $ 200. For something less expensive, check out some of the Kelty packs. They’re not bad, do the job, can get one for around $ 100 (depending on model). There suspension system is not as good as the Osprey.
