14 hours to Africa!

The immunizations are done, my Tanzanian Visa is in hand, the bags are packed, my flights are confirmed!  I can't believe that I'm leaving for Africa today!  I'm using blogger.com since I won't have my iMac with me, so hopefully I'll be able update and post pictures pretty regularly.

I squeezed way too much stuff into these two bags! It seems that my day pack is even bigger than my checked bag.  I'm going to look like such a dork running around the airport w/ my overpacked back-pack.

Fortunately, I saved room on underwear.  Ex-Officio makes some quick-drying easy wash underwear that claims to be the only pair of underwear you'll need on the entire trip.  Thanks for the hook-up Alex!  It was pretty pricey, but I still wasn't convinced that one pair was enough for my trip (so I bought 3 pairs for good measure).

The Ex-Officio underwear was just one of the many REI purchases that broke the bank last weekend.  It's crazy how much money I've already spent and I'm not even in Africa.
