(Aka RTW in travel blog culture&nbsp;\ud83d\ude09)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can\u2019t say planning for a RTW trip during Covid is the easiest thing we\u2019ve ever done. We\u2019ve been constantly watching case counts and travel restrictions increase and decrease across each region we want to visit, to the point where our philosophy has become to only worry about the regions in our immediate future. That is one benefit of having a loose itinerary &#8211; very easy to change course if needed! Beyond that, I think everyone that knows us knows how careful we\u2019ve tried to be through Covid, and it will come as no surprise that we plan to continue our precautions as reasonably as we can. I\u2019m excited to enjoy a change of warm weather while outdoor dining this year&nbsp;\ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now to answer the question I\u2019m sure is on everyone\u2019s mind &#8211; how is Christine going to survive for a year with only a weeks worth of clothes &#8211; to that I can only say I\u2019m curious to find out the answer myself&nbsp;\ud83d\ude05. I\u2019ve read countless travel packing tips in an attempt to be prepared in any scenario and get as much into my carry-on bag as possible. Meanwhile, John thinks he\u2019s overpacked because he brought 7 shirts for the year. Different strategies &#8211; we\u2019ll see who comes out on top!
