How do you pack for a trip around the world?
I needed to pack for winter in Greenland,
and so I brought layers and layers and layers of stuff.
I didn’t bring anything big and heavy and bulky, because we don’t have room for that on the airplane.
But the layers worked just fine. Also, when we were there,
the temperature was between zero and minus 20 Fahrenheit
which is kind of a beach day in Thule,
so we were kind of lucky there and we were comfortable. And I brought boots
instead of running shoes so that my feet weren’t cold on the airplane all the time.
That was the one thing I was really missing last time because the aircraft is kept at
between I guess about 60-ish degrees, which if you’re sitting there not moving
can actually get quite cold, and the gradient in the temperature is really strong.
So the air at your feet is freezing,
and last time round my feet were constantly cold, so this time, I wore boots.
