>>#2 item - Bring twice as many socks as you think you need.

>>#3 item - Pack all your clothes in Rubber Maid bins not the
>>cheap imitation ones.  Rubber Maid brand is more waterproof.
>>
>>#4 item - pack an entire change of clothes and leave them in
>>your car.  They will be the driest ones you have in case of
