What's in our bags?

Whether you are planning for your own round-the-world travels, or are just curious (one of our most asked questions is "How are you going to pack for your trip?!"), here is a list of what we are using for our bags and what's inside them.  We focused on items that were light, easily washable, had UPF protection and were meant to hold up under travel conditions.  Our bags are carry-on size, which was important to save money, time and hassle.  We have provided links to a lot of our items below.
