I use top 10 now instead of the usual 5 because there are more ways to mess up when I am involved with hiking, trekking, or mountain climbing of any sort.
Number 10: Packing food enough to feed a platoon.
Number 9 : Packing everything in separate zip-lock bags, which is a good thing, except when I have to get something and have to open everything up.
Number 8 : Packing two bottles of facial and body sunscreen when we actually didn't need any of it.
Number 7 : Wearing my Nike sneakers when I know it'll get wet.
Number 6 : Not having mojos, those ugly-looking rubber contraptions you put on your feet with equally ugly-looking straps. It is quite handy when all I've got is a pair of gold flip-flops.
Number 5 : Not wearing my swimsuit underneath the tank so I don't have to go looking for a changing room in the middle of nowhere.
Number 4 : Bringing a huge bottle of distilled water when I know I can't finish it and I end up bitching about it for having to carry it all the way to the top and back.
Number 3 : Bringing two different pairs of sunglasses. What was I thinking?
Number 2 : Bringing my eyeliner, lip and cheek tint and MAC face powder, which all ended up it a little stream just when we started the climb. One guy picked it up for me to my embarrassment and to the sheer delight of Kai, who was laughing at my distress and enjoying the look of humiliation on my face.
Number 1 : In my desire to travel light, I brought "only" tank tops and short shorts in a very foul weather.
