Packing List

It seems fitting that our first post is about what we are bringing for this trip as this was usually the first question most asked us when they heard about our 6-9 month adventure. The next question was what are we doing with all of our plants. Luckily, they have all found loving homes! To the new plant owners, feel free to share photos of our babies in their new homes.

As you will see below, we have a lot of the same things, and we know what you are thinking, the answer is yes, there will be a 'Who Wore It Best' feature to this blog. Stay tuned.
