We could carry only about three days' clothing, therefore needed to find laundromats fairly often. Take bike tools, several spare tubes, spare brake/shifter cable, and a spare (foldable) tire or two. There are long stretches without bike shops.
Plastics for rain. They serve double-duty if you camp in mosquito country. Leave a Comment

If you are going to drive around in the US it's always smart to have something to drink with you, especially if you're going to drive in the heat in not so populated area's. If your car breaks down, the airco does so to and your bound to get thirsty then. It can be smart to buy a cooler, you can get the simple styrofoam ones for about $ 2,00 if you fill this with ice cubes at the hotel or buy a bag at a grocery store you could keep you drinks cool up to two days, even the melted ice keeps your drinks cool. We always carry one or two gallons of water (about $0,60 cents a gallon) and a small refilled bottle in the front of the car. It's much cheaper as buying bottles and as i said earlier you can keep your drinks cool when your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Oh and another tip don't drop a gallon of water in the elevator, you and the elevator will get soaked :-). Leave a Comment

All weather is possable. Bring close for what you want to do.
Once again bring what you need. The west and S. West does have some of the best doctors in the USA, but have health insurance.
This is a must. Don't over do it but good photo equip. is a must.
Once More, pack for what you want to do.

COTTON CLOTHING AND NOTHING HEAVY TO CARRY in the Summer, as it is HOT! Wear good sturdy comfy sandals that are broken in. Closed in sneakers are ok, but HOT. Bring a visor or a ball cap and .... A WIDE BRIMMED HAT.
WEAR SUNSCREEN, bring also a hand towel and towelettes if you have them, as it is HOT in the summer and you will chafe from the sweat. I purchased a portable water bottle that is insulated that has a strap to carry like a purse/bag. It was a MUST.
SUNSCREEN, BUG SPRAY, COTTON TSHIRTS, COTTON UNDIES
PURCHASE A CAR REFLECTOR/SCREEN and crack the windows.... THE SUN in the SUMMER IS HELL! ALSO, remember the song? ITS WINDY at times!!! Leave a Comment

If you plan to visit the nicer bars and clubs in the city, whether its in Georgetown or downtown, pack a few nice clothes and shoes- nothing too dressy, but leave the sneakers in the hotel. Black always works, ladies - it isn't Manhattan here, and there won't be as many velvet-rope establishments with a diva-at-the-door checking out if your ensemble is worthy of admission before turning you back to T-Neck New Jersey, but its still nice to look stylish.
