Packing List for 2013 Trip

Packing List for 2013 Galapagos Winter Term Trip

(Girl Edition)

   1.     8-9 T-shirts (light-weight cotton is the best) 

   2.     3 pairs of shorts (khakis or nike shorts are the best)

   3.     1 or 2 dresses or something nice to wear (this is because you will land in the city of Porta Ayora or a few days)

   4.     A sweatshirt (this is for Ecuador it is FREEZING, well at least compared to the Galapagos)

   5.     A pant of some sort, i.e. yoga pants, jeans (again for Ecuador)

   6.     SUNBLOCK (You WILL burn if you do not use it ALL THE TIME)

   7.     A Journal and extra pens and pencils (make sure to make time to write in it also)

   8.     A pair of Tevas (this is for wet landings and they are good for climbing over little rocky patches for the most part) 

   9.     A pair of regular old sandals (this is for relaxation purposes so that you are not constantly wearing tevas)

  10. A pair of tennis shoes (make sure not to get them wet, you will never want to wear them again, also you probably want to bring an old pair because they will most likely get thrown away)

  11. Bring an Ipod (make sure to bring a charger as well, it is nice to listen to music before falling asleep on the boat)

  12. Bring a hat!! (it can get rather sunny and sunburn is expected unless you have sunblock and a hat)

  13. Bring spending money for gifts and such

  14. A pair of sunglasses (it is very very sunny and these are a necessity)

  15. A digital camera (obvious but DO NOT bring a disposable you will end up wasting a ton of money)
