Packed!!

Call me crazy, its a week before I leave for our trip to Africa and I am already packed. I like to think of it as prepared.
  I followed my list and this is all I am taking for a 9 night safari.

I find the best way to save space and protect the clothes is to pack in zip lock bags. I prefer the gallon size freezer bags. It is a great way to keep everything organized without having to unpack, this comes in handy when you are moving from one place to another. I packed this way for a 8 day trip to Ireland and never once unpacked my suitcase. I always take a few extra bags along as they are great for so many things.

Along with my clothes we are also packing with purpose and bring school supplies to help support one of the local schools in Zambia.

I  weighed everything and all this is only 9 pds. Between all of us it should not be a problem adding these items in our bags. 

My son is bringing soccer balls which I know the children will enjoy.

Looks like I will have plenty of room.
