All packed up and ready to leave on Sunday early morning. Packing everything I need for the next two years turned out to be a difficult task. I probably packed, unpacked, and repacked everything five times or so in order to get things just the way I want it. The check in duffel bag contains a 50L backpacking pack and almost all of my winter clothes (Lesotho gets very cold in the winter). The idea being, if the bag is lost in transport, then I will still have my summer clothes to live with.
I've been through this ordeal a few times before in the military so I know how the drill goes. I probably won't end up using half the stuff I brought and my most treasured item will be my headlamp or something like that.
