Packing for a extensive trip is an art: according to writer Tom Leffel, "The trick is to only bring things you can't find locally and to bring things that are lighter, smaller, cheaper, or of better quality than what you could find where you are going." His other tips, variations on that theme, are all good, but the one about going cold turkey on electronics is also poignant: "It's hard to mingle with the locals when the gadgets in your hands are worth more than their whole family makes in a year. [. . . . Consider] what's truly important--as a personal music player and camera are for most travelers--and leave the rest in the office or at home."
