Travelling light?



One day to go. It’s Friday and I have finished packing. Everything seems to be different this time. I pack a big suitcase PLUS a bag – and with my hand baggage I will probably be just below the allowed weight limit. 

This is the complete opposite of my usual travel with just a bag. But there is so much to take with me – business clothes AND clothes for my travel after the assignment (this also means trekking shoes for the walking safari), a larger than usual medical kit, food and little gifts to distribute, of course some Swiss chocolate, although I fear it might melt.,  in my hand luggage I carry my laptop, all logistical documentation, my Ghana travel guide, my kindle (this at least saves me from carrying some books!), the camera and a change of clothes in case my bags don’t arrive or arrive late. It is wonderful that KLM allows two pieces of checked luggage for travels to West Africa! I will web check-in now, and then I am really ready to leave tomorrow morning.

More to come,

Cynthia

  1. Great job on the packing while still covering all of your bases. You will have to trade in your Swiss Chocolate for some local Golden Tree Chocoaltes in short order. The Golden Tree is a different texture which people find interesting but this major difference allows it to stay solid in the warm climate.
