Check It Out

Hello All,

As Steph and I we're in the process of making our itinerary we thought it would be a great idea to start making a list of needed items. Everything from what we each needed individually, what Dakota (Steph's dog-sometimes referred to as Kota) needed, and what we needed for the car. As you can see I'm way more detail oriented (sorry Steph!). These lists cover everything and anything we might need ranging from the obvious to the less thought of, we will be in the middle of nowhere after all... and yes we had to put everything (it helps with planning).

As you guys can see a few items are bold and red. These are the items we need the most, yes I need my tripod. Last time I saw the Northern Lights (in Iceland if anyone was wondering), I had left it back home in New Jersey. And it helps for taking pictures of both of us when there's no one around. Just in case we cant find a 3rd friend to join us. The rest of the red stuff, besides Kota's rabies vaccination sheets (for access into Canada) are in case we get stranded/ items for the car.

Below is our check list.
