The Big Trek Women are world experts in packing luggage, and they never ever take too much stuff. This story proves it.
My sister and I recently went travelling to Thailand. We were advised to go on a Trek due to waiting for our visas to come through. So after briefly seeing pictures of a Trek the travel adviser recommended us, I'd noticed that there were rooms with bathrooms and electricity in the photos, so we packed our hair dryers and straighteners...only to find out that these photos were of the accommodation the night before the Trek. We spent the next two nights camping in the middle of nowhere. Over the next three days, we hiked up and down mountains with our electrical items tucked at the bottom of our backpacks, uttering not a word to others on our journey. What were we thinking? That there would be plugs on the trees? What we failed to bring, however, were the essentials - toilet roll, snacks and a torch. And my sister's only form of footwear were her faithful flip-flops!
