Here's the list:
GEAR:
G4 backpack
Bivy Sack (OR Aurora)
Stove (Jetboil)
Water Filter (MSR Hyperflow)
Pack Towel (MSR)
Marmot Helium 15 Degree sleeping bag (I took this one because it is actually lighter than my Kelty Light Year 45 degree bag)
1L Platypus Water bottle
3L Platypus Water bottle
RidgeRest short sleeping pad
Mountaineering Compass
Titanium Spork (seriously, I have one. I think it's hilarious too)
CLOTHES:

1 cloth belt I bought in India
1 pair linen pants
1 pair nylon zip off pants
1 pair jeans
4 short sleeve T-shirts
1 long sleeve T-shirt
3 pairs ExOfficio underwear (I plan to buy 3 more)
5 pairs wool and nylon socks
1 pair Vasque Breeze hiking boot
1 pair Chaco flip flop sandals
2 pairs of goggles and swim suits
my Brazil Flag beach cloth
ELECTRONICS:
IBM X40 laptop computer and case
Canon SD1000 Digital Camera
3 four gig SD cards
BOOKS:
Herman Hesse Demian
Herman Hesse Steppenwolf
Salman Rushdie Fury
Salman Rushdie The Jaguar Smile
Dave Eggers A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
Milan Kundera The Joke
(I also have Gabriel García Márquez Love in the Time of Cholera and 100 Years of Solitude, but I did not bring them because they're heavy ((no pun intended)) )
And then I have a lot of medications, a decent first aid kit, sewing kit, soap, etc.
It's more stuff than I wanted to bring, and I may thin it out a bit before I actually leave. Right now I have everything in a duffle bag and backpack. I will pack it into the G4 and see how it all fits. I have the feeling I'm not going to like it. There is just so much medications. That's the problem with having a doctor in the family.
