Joan--I attempted to contact you via the email in your comment, but it was returned. Please try to post your question again!

Where do you plan to travel? Two suggestions I have are 1. PACK LIGHT and 2. Go with the wind! Most people take WAY too much stuff. In most areas of the world you can rinse out your clothing every day or so--so you don't need a week's supply. Practice doing with less. I once rode all around Colorado and then out to California with only a small front handlebar bag--and my sleeping bag strapped under my seat. I took a down jacket, groundcloth, camera, toothbrush and a bag of granola. I bought food on the way. I stopped into gas stations to wash my body and nylon clothes and put the clothes right back on. I was out for a month.
