Luggage and bags: Since you will likely take a taxi from the the bus terminal or airport into town, a backpack might not offer the same advantage as it might elsewhere but if you are thinking of taking mass transit, it most likely will.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Cali's warm humid climate will beckon you to wear very little and you'll break out your sandals after months in the back if you've spent a lot of your Colombian time at high elevation.
Photo Equipment: While a wide angle is great to get all of the great architecture of Cali into your frame, you'll find a good zoom even more handy for taking sneaky shots of vendors and of course for capturing the gorgeous animals at the Cali Zoo.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: With great affordable lodging right in town it's unlikely you'll break out your tent in Cali.
Miscellaneous: Thanks to D for snacking around with me in Cali and persevering to find the lulada which she quite possibly liked even more than I did.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: When I arrive it was hot and humid. A couple of days later clouds, rain and overcast skies. Bring a umbrella, light rain jacket, short sleeve shirts, light pants.
Its normally hot in the 80s.
