to those of you who have done the backpacking thing:
here's my pack list. is there anything i really should not be leaving out? i'm going to be all over western europe, basically, so if i really need to i can buy things, but i'll be alone so i'm trying to keep it light.
camera
notebook & pens
painkillers
bandaids
toilet paper
water bottle
sun screen
hair bands
wallet
rail pass
passport
sunglasses
guide books (well, selected pages from guidebooks anyway)
mini dictionaries
camera cord, extra battery, memory
needle & thread
mini multitool
mini flashlight
umbrella
a few ziplocks
towel
toiletries
jewelry
sandals
wallking shoes shoes
2 pair pants
3 skirts
5 shirts
1 long sleeved shirt
socks
underwear
1 jacket
pjs
bathing suit
so far that all fits into a backpack (28L, i was proud of myself - i'm going weigh it in a sec, but it doesn't seem too bad) and a shoulder bag.
edit: 15 lb. not bad. :)
also, any thoughts on the ISIC card? worth it or not?
