Packing by Dr. JJJ

We're about one month out from embarkment which means we're buried in lists: To do lists, work lists, house lists, puggle lists, kids school lists, and of course, packing lists. What you bring and what you leave behind is a reflection of personal values. Only one of the following items is NOT currently on the Johnson-Leck packing list for Semester at Sea. Can you guess which one?

  • So much sea sickeness medicine that a blue whale would forget she was in water.
  • Themed onesies for every family member including an adult sized "pug on donut" onesie for you know who ;).
  • Preemptive tooth fairy supplies in the event that any one of these fuckers has the audacity to pop a tooth on this voyage (these supplies are more extensive than you might realize...).
  • Giant plastic eggs for holding found treasures. #Easter
  • Leash and carabeener for Guthrie Jude Johnson-Leck (AKA "the typhoon") #safetythird
  • Miscellenous wigs
  • Miscellenous costumes
  • Chris's new lucky Cubs hat for 2020
  • $50 worth of journaling pens, markets, and a brand spanking new journal for documenting the comedy of errors that is likely to unfold in the next 5 months
  • Enough geocashing stuff for us to plant a Semester at Sea themed cache in every port
  • Birthday decorations and surprises for an 8-year-old celebration #WaldenJ-L
  • Matching family travel bracelets
  • Addresses of friends and family for sending snail mail to our loved ones. 
Are we missing something? Send us YOUR ideas for additional "essentials" to bring on the voyage by leaving a comment.  In the meantime, we'll work on wedging all of this stuff into our allotted luggage limit.
