Packing Questions - Travelers, help!

[fantom07]

I have never really done any international travel before. Well, I did go to Australia with my family many, MANY years ago, but I wasn't really involved in the mass packing that was involved besides making sure I had enough socks and undies to last me through the trip

As far as carrying valuables around, one of those packs that slide around your waist under your clothes might be really helpful, if you are going to areas where there is a lot of theft or just want to feel at east. Something such as this.

If you can, sling your camera around your neck, don't just keep in on your shoulder; it's much easier to slide a camera off a shoulder.

Also, pack light, less than you think you need. You can always buy things that your forget; Kuala Lumpur is a pretty modern city with some pretty spiffy shopping malls (that are fun to check out and a great way to get out of the heat regardless if you need anything). You might even be able to get away with a big backpack for each of you, if you can do laundry every few days. You will not need any sweaters, etc from what I remember about Malaysia; it's effing hot and humid (except maybe for the plane ride, and indoors if they're blasting the air conditioning to high hell, so maybe pack one light jacket/sweater).

Also, have ridiculous amounts of fun and post pictures prettypleasewithacherryontop?
