Imagine being gone for four (4) months -- not a week or two, but four (4) months! Destinations include some of the warmest "monsoon" climates, and "the" coldest climate on Earth (Antarctica)! We must dress for casual, "smart casual" and formal occasions. We need materials to occupy our minds during "down" times. . . . Some things can be sent with the delivery service a week before we go (as it turns out, 16 suitcases, boxes and bags-worth), but valuables and last minute items must come with us on our flight.
