21 Days and Counting

Only three weeks away! I can't believe it. So many things left to do! So little time! May God prepare us spiritually for this "safari" (in Swahili this means journey).

As we make final preparations, I thought I would refresh our thoughts on WHAT TO PACK--a discussion we had at one of our earlier meetings:

Bible
journal
binoculars
medicines/first aid kit
reading material (book/magazine)
earplugs
sleeping mask
bug spray
sunscreen
hat with wide brim
hand sanitizer
wet wipes
water bottle
fanny pack
camera
passport
immunization record
copies of airline tickets (e-tickets)
neck wrap pillow
skirts for women
lightweight jacket
umbrella & rain poncho
sturdy shoes
carry on bag with at least 1 change of clothing
toiletries
flashlight (if large, will need to put in checked baggage)
anti-malarial meds
list of addresses (for mailing postcards)
world alarm clock
sunglasses
Charmin to go
batteries/extra SD cards for camera
IPOD
towel & washcloth
cash (preferably $50 & $100 newer bills)
aspirin (to take on the airplane to reduce chance of blood clots)
Mints or gum
