If you were stranded on a desert island and could only take....you know the rest : )

Imagine that you are moving to a tropical island far away from home and you only have 50 lbs worth of "stuff" that you can take with you - what do you bring?

Wait. That's actually happening....

Here's my mother's list on my behalf:
Scrubs
bikini
sublock
and your damn windsufer that's been sitting in the garage for years and since you can't take it on the plane, how about sail it there wearing the bikini with the scrubs over it and the sunblock on your face/in a little bag strapped to your back with some water....have fun kid !!

Crap.

Seriously, everyone has these long lists of things that you are supposed to take that you either can't get on the island at all or are in short supply and guaranteed to run out if you are not one of the first five callers so to speak. We're talking:

bedding
extension cords
ethernet cable
DEET
surge protectors
binders
highlighters
Netter's Anatomy Flashcards
Colored pens/pencils
Printer
Ink Cartridges for above referenced printer
ream of paper for afore mentioned printer
flashlight
toiletries in large supply
Brita
Filters for above referenced Brita
pots & pans

Shall I go on ? I am sure we are well above 50 lbs here and I haven't even listed any clothing or a hair dryer.....hmmmmm.

This is where you guys come in : ). Ya know how you keep mentioning how great it'd be to visit me down there ? How about we make a deal? You come visit and stay in my teeeeeny tiny dorm room free of charge and in exchange bring moi some supplies! You like ? I like.

72 days until I am officially "Marooned".....
