Packing List

I am so excited/nervous that I already created my packing list! I went through current PCV's blogs and on Facebook pages where advice was given for what to bring. I believe that when I get the staging information, there will be a packing list in there. So, this probably will need to be edited, but at least I can get a head start on packing!
