What to Wear Packing List: Part 3 (Clothes)

I leave exactly 2 weeks from today!  In 336 hours I will be comfortably ensconced in a plane seat on my way to Nairobi!  I finally have all my clothes in for the trip and will now share with you my clothes packing list for the next 5 months!  I figure certain things like leech socks or a heavy winter coat I can pick up along the way, or have sent to a hotel from home if needed, but the basics to get me through this crazy journey are all here:

My packing list consists of:

3 pairs of shorts
3 pants (one convertible pant to short)
1 short sleeve button up shirt
4 cotton t-shirts
2 long sleeve button up t shirts
1 long sleeve cotton shirt
1 thermal underwear
3 short leggings
2 long leggings
1 Sweatshirt
1 Fleece Jacket
1 Rain Jacket
1 skirt
1 Pajamas
1 Bathing Suit
1 big cashmere scarf
2 light weight cotton jackets (1 white, 1 black)
3 light weight sundresses (one fancy)
1 sneakers
1 hiking boots
1 sandals (flip flops)
1 nice sandals
6 pairs of socks
1 fold up towel
2 pairs of sunglasses
1 hat

And of course various undergarments which I haven’t decided on amounts yet. I hope this will get me successfully through till December 18th, I think it should!  If you see anything I forgot please let me know!  I’m debating about the nice pair of shoes and thinking of adding my roll up ballet flats instead, but that is basically it!  This week I will soak all the clothes in the repellent I mentioned in the last post.

I weighed my camera bag today and with absolutely everything in it it comes to a whopping 33 pounds!  Thanks to my trainer Paola, without you I would never be able to carry that load!  I won’t be carrying it around during the day that heavy, just while in transit.  I’ll list its contents in the last posting of the packing list series.  Stay tuned for the last installment on camera equipment and technology to come very soon!

Almost time to say bon voyage!
