Peanut Butter is a big one, there is nothing that will make you feel more at home. I was never a big peanut butter eater, but after 6 months I was craving it.

I made sure to bring Sriracha and peanut butter in my bag. I had a lot of stuff (seasoning salt, ranch dressing mix, curry pastes, and good coffee) sent in a care package. PST is a crazy time - I never once thought about pulling out the food I brought, I just ate whatever was put in front of me. But it's nice to share some American snacks with your host family.

Edit: Gatorade packets are also great. I was able to get them from the PC office, but something like this would have been awesome.

If you DO get something wheeled, make sure it has durable wheels. I have no idea what the 'technical' term is, but the equivalent of off-road tires.

I used Eagle Creek to get my bags, and I did get one large wheeled bag and it has worked out great. Eagle Creek also has a 50% peace corps discount pro-deal you can use, which really helps as some of their stuff can be expensive.

Here's the bag I have: http://shop.eaglecreek.com/orv-trunk-30/d/1279. As stated in another post, I mostly used this size bag for packing clothes and stuff, and once at site, the big bag tends to sit there.

For my short trip backpack I used this one (I don't believe Eagle Creek sells it directly anymore, but I just checked and it is on Amazon): http://shop.eaglecreek.com/digi-hauler-backpack/d/1241_c_111.

Here it is on Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Creek-Luggage-Hauler-Backpack/dp/B008NF3VF0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427386446&sr=8-1&keywords=digihauler.

Not quite 50% off on Amazon, but close.
