Packing List for 4 months

Before we go on our longer trips, we have a routine that we follow. We always get our hair cut, get flu shots, then head to the dentist who checks for loose fillings or potential problems. Then a visit to the doctor to get prescriptions for antibiotics for stomach, ear or respiratory issues. This year, I sprained my tooth two weeks before our trip! Imagine a sprained molar! I had to get a night guard ‘splint’ made and some meds to calm down the ligaments.

It seems that we always pick up a cold about a week into our trip (the flight?) and it is best to be ready for it, so...I packed Tylenol p.m. tablets, Neocitron, and Ricola cough/sore throat candies. We have found that a good night time decongestant or cough suppressant has been hard to find in some countries.

From what we have read, the weather in Mexico and New Zealand will be very pleasant with daytime temperatures in the 20s C. and cooler nights. Perfect. No reason to take heavy clothes.

By the way, just for some interesting information, here is a basic starter list of clothing I found on one of my searches, which just about covers everything:

Clothes

2 long sleeved shirts
2 short sleeved shirts
2 tank tops (shells) for layering
1 lightweight sweater, preferably merino, (or cashmere)
1 fleece or down vest
1 pair jeans
1 pair long pants
1 pair capri/shorts
1 pair leggings
1 skirt/dress
7 pairs underwear
3 pairs light socks
1 pair heavy socks
3 bras
pajamas
bathing suit
waterproof travel jacket and fleece
