You can spend hundreds of dollars on the latest and greatest travel accoutrements for your trip. Travel clothes, towels, toiletries, etc. This can add up very quickly. The following is the basic list of gear we are taking on our trip, and is a good starting point for any sort of long term travel. In advance we planned on staying mostly in cities, so the list does not include camping equipment.
