How Would We Pack for BA Now?

THINGS WE’RE GLAD WE PACKED

1. Tampons (I laid in an 8 month supply!)
2. Pans (We brought two All Clad pans with us, a stock pot and a frying pan.)
3. Chef’s Knife
4. Paring Knife

THINGS WE WISH WE HAD PACKED

1. Glide Floss
2. Leopard DVD (Tom could have then restored his MAC operating system in English after his hard drive died.)
3. Y Adapter (So the girls could both listen to a movie or music on one device.)
4. More US Bills (Moving and traveling require cash money.)

THINGS WE DIDN’T NEED TO PACK

1. Formal Clothes. (Everyone goes on and on about the formality of the populace in Baires, but the truth is, it’s like any other international city…unless you’re going to work or hanging out in a trendy bar, jeans and a regular shirt are SOP. I would have packed far less “nice” clothing and more t-shirts.)

THINGS WE ARE TRAVELING WITH NOW

1. Immersion Blender (pictured above). We bought this little jobby in Baires and I love it. I haven’t used an immersion blender forever, and they’ve come a long way baby. Truly, this is a power tool! We have taken it with us on our summer sojourn and we try to make smoothies most mornings, no matter where we are staying!!!

    Tampons do not exist down there? Or are the US versions much better… ?

    The only brand of tampon that they carry is OB, so you if you are happy with that, then you are covered. Additionally, in most stores, the tampons are kept behind the counter, they are not out in the open with the pads where you can pick them up. So, you have to ask for them.

    Since ob is not my brand, and since I don’t want to have to ask for Tampons every month, I brought my own supply!
