The Group

It looks like there will be 60 of us going to Namibia. 20 people are with Health and the rest are various types of teachers.

60 seems like a really big group!

Packing

Yesterday I went to REI and bought the things I think I will need. I still have a few more items to get -- I'll do that later today.

I was up until 3:00 AM packing the gear that I had. I am using the following luggage:

• Water proof duffle (3,500 cubic inches)
• Internal frame backpack (6,000 cubic inches)
• Day pack (1,800 cubic inches)

Here are the packing rules:

• Checked luggage can not exceed a total of 80 pounds.
• I can check at most to bags.
• The dimensions of each bag must be totaled (length + width + height) and then added together (bag 1 + bag 2) and can not exceed 107 inches.
• No bag can be more than 50 pounds.
• I can have at most two carry-on bags.
