Yet here we are trying to organize the packing, trying to figure out when to start our Malaria prophylaxes, trying to find any extra hidden cash, trying to decide which lotions and potions to put in 3oz. bottles, trying to decide what we really don't need- hairdryer? I mean who will I run into that will see me again, deodorant? well it is winter time over there, vitamins? surely my body can do without for 3 weeks, face and eye cream? hmmm better keep that in.
All in all it is a daunting project. I'm in charge of photography so I have lots of electronics and equipment that will replace basic necessities.
