My girly side may potentially be taking over at the moment. Trying to decide what I actually NEED while packing is getting tedious. I wish I could bring my entire room, however my 25 pound weight limit is a little restricting. I currently have one backpack which I will be taking with me on the plane carrying everything I will need for 3 months in Kenya. My second back which I will check in is carrying supplies to bring. So far the big things in my bag are: a small camping sleeping bag (I have to provide my own bedding), a microfiber towel, a roll of toilet paper, 2 boxes of KD, all my medications and water purification drops, energy bars, a flashlight, a camera, some small shampoos, a sweater, a waterproof jacket, 1 pair of shorts, 1 pair of jeans, a few t-shirts... potentially a hair straightener (i know what you're thinking- stop).
I probably have a million things to do still...
Starting to freak out. I hear it's normal though.
next step: get on that plane!
Good luck Sam!!! Don't worry- it's not just you having trouble with packing. :) You will be absolutely amazing in Kenya, don't stress too much and always remember that no matter what, you have the strength to handle whatever comes your way. Enjoy! :D
ReplyDeleteI think it's hilarious how you went from toilet paper to bedding to hair straightener all in yoiur carry on! Hey, whatever keeps tht smaile on your face . . I hear that kenyan weather can make hair quite frizzy ;) and kudos to ou for limiting to a carry-on
