Pre-Peregrination: Packing

































Our stuff: 3 shirts, 1 long-sleeve shirt, 2 pants, 1 skirt/shorts, 1 fleece, 6-9 undies, travel dress, sarong, bathing suit, sleep sack, travel towel, LOTS of toiletries, first aid kit, 2 sporks, bowl, wash line, flashlight, alarm clock, journal, camera, netbook (in W's pack)

Our pack: We separately picked out the same backpacks so we're matching, but we are not "that" couple.


T minus 2 days (err I mean 1): This is my second international travel botch up. Turns out if you leave on a red eye flight, you arrive in your destination on the NEXT day. I booked our London-Entebbe flight for the wrong day. Luckily, American Airlines was able to graciously re-book our flights for 1 day earlier without any extra fees. The downside was that Warren has a day less to work on the dissertation and lost a year off his life being married to me.

The first time we missed our flight to New Zealand as I had a little trouble reading military time.
Tentative Itinerary:

Uganda (Aug 26 to Sep 15)
Tanzania (Sept 15 to Sep 23)
Rwanda (Sep 23 to Sep 30)
Uganda (Sep 30 to Oct 3)
UK - London (Oct 3 to Oct. 6)
Spain (Oct. 6 to Oct. 13) - Mel minus Warren plus Jung/Brian
Hawaii (Oct. 13 to Oct. 17) - Mel only
Cali (Oct 17 to Oct 27) - Mel only
