Age Boldly: The 3 Pieces To Pack For Most Any Weather
How to travel properly without leaving your own stomping grounds.
The Jeannies at NextTribe
May 29, 2025
Jeannie Ralston is wrapping up our Ireland trip, where the source of all the green on the Emerald Isle (rain) hasn’t stopped our intrepid travelers from having fun with each other and with the locals! “You can’t have rainbows (and leprechauns to go with them!) without the rain,” says Jeannie. “And a mix of clouds softens the sky for some of the best sunsets…if you’re lucky.”
After ducking into a restaurant in the rain for a hearty dinner, Jeannie R. and her travelers were blessed with this gorgeous sunset at Lahinch Beach in County Clare.
Jeannie Edmunds is preparing for a colonoscopy tomorrow morning. Oh, was that TMI? Sorry about that. There’s one thing you need to know about us. There are no secrets here at NextTribe. That’s why we love having a company with all women. And when we go on trips, we don’t waste any time with idle chit-chat, either. We go DEEP!
This Jeannie is already staging her bag for the trip she’s leading to Rwanda and Uganda in a few weeks. As the trip leader, she has to carry a few extra items (first aid kit, NextTribe Passports and stamp, earplugs and snore strips and other items travelers might need). Both Jeannie’s are allergic to checking a bag, so she’s going to be stuffing it all into the carryon bag she bought at Jeannie R’s recommendation: The Away Flex.
Whenever one Jeannie is on the road, the other is usually packing!
No need for a passport where you’re going this week, if you read our articles. You might just want to play tourist where you live. Enjoy the reads!

Jeannie Ralston says, “I love my Bose Quiet Comfort headphones. I never travel without these because on a plane if there's a crying baby or a noisy talker, I just sink deeper into my audiobook or, if I'm trying to get some shut eye, a Calm sleep story.”
