Packed

I've packed my bags: 

I have a box of scientific supplies that I put into the large padded duffel bag.  There was still enough room for all my cold weather gear.  Everything fits except a long, heavy stake to stabilize a piece of equipment under water.  It's just too long to fit in the padded duffel with the box.  Thus, I'm taking a second bag, the black one.  I'll put a camera tripod and my water bottles in with the stake.  Bekah might have something to add, too.  I also have a carry-on backpack, which will hold my computer, a book, toothbrush etc. and a change of clothes.  My cameras and travel documents are in the purse-like bag, which is my second carry-on.

Note the luggage tags:

Here's my packing check list for personal gear.  There are many many many many other scientific things that we've ordered from NSF or shipped in advance.  Some are also in my bag, but not on the list here.
