No really, we're not kidding...
These are our lives in backpacks:
- Three pants
- two shorts
- three shirts
- two long sleeve shirts
- few tank tops
- fleece
- few socks and underwear
- one dress (for Liz)
- swimsuit
- raincoat
- umbrella
- keens (+ foot deoderant for Bert)
- sneakers
- LOTS of tampons
- deet-filled bug spray & mosquito net (PROTECTION)
- condoms (even more protection...keep waiting Ian)
- water purifier (cutting edge stuff...unless it DOESN'T WORK!!!)
- medications & medical stuff (yes, we're prepared for the inevitable intestinal warfare)
- hat
- sun glasses
- books
- travel guide
- camera
- journal(s)
Things that didn't make the cut:
- house
- car
- computer
- cell phone
- ipod
- PDA
- wedding ring
- straight iron ( I hear frizzy hair is all the rage in Guatemala)
- Liz's 6 other pair of shoes
- half the underwear (thanks for the tip, Tim)
- few shirts and shorts (don't worry, Bama love will be spread)
- calming body lotion (what do we have to be stressed out about...we're unemployed!)
So here we lie in bed on this, our last night in the country for over 5 months. We have the expected feelings: excitement, anxiety, love, irritability ("Bert, it's LATE"), freedom, liberation, fulfillment, love ("seriously Robert, we have to be up at 5am"), and did I mention irritability? ;-)
You get the point!
What's next? Good question. Stay tuned...

hey bert and lizzy - can't wait to follow along on your adventures with you. have so much fun! God speed :o)
p.s. sorry i am so ignorant....what is the item listed as keens on the list of what is in your backpacks?
Wait, you're not taking a TV? Liz do you know the new seasons will start before you get back !
Have fun and be safe.
Holy crap, I can't believe your really gone!!!!!!Sad to hear that you couldn't fit the RedCat in the backpack! Keep us posted often. Have a great time and be safe!
Samma-
Keens are a type of shoe/sandal. They are great, but they make Bert´s feet STINK!
OK...so I see Travel Guide made the cut...how come it didn't make it into the bag?
And I also noticed that you didn't seem to forget the condoms...hum...priorities??!! Get lost and have no clue what to do...or maybe you do have ideas as to what to do!!! HAHA
