On a finer point: Assuming jackets for guys are a must, Gary wants to know if ties are also a must. He'd like to bring a silk turtleneck in lieu of dress shirt and tie if possible. Dress slacks a must or are nice khakis OK? Sounds like it but he's seeking whatever clarity is available, please.

Gary's at 21.5 lbs of luggage on his trial duffle pack but hasn't put a few things in as of yet. I'm still ordering stuff. Cheers, Anne
