Shopping List

As I have spoken to people about this journey, and all the myriad of details to be worked out before I leave in July 2nd, I keep getting reminded that I should ask for this, or that. And a few have said that the best place to put this list is here on this blog. So, here is a list of things I need for my trip. If you have any of these items and no longer need them, I would be very grateful if you gave them to me instead of let them sit unused, and useless, buried in some corner any longer. Thanks so much.
