1. Pack medicines and several sets of clothing in your 26lb carry on. If checked baggage is lost, it is lost for the whole trip until we return to the airport in South Africa. Whatever you can't live without for 2 weeks should be in your carry on.
2. Wear your work boots in route. For me, it saves me space and weight in my luggage. Once on the plane you can take them off. If your work boots are uncomfortable...remember you will be wearing them for 10 days.
3. Wear your light jacket or sweatshirt onto the plane. This will also save packing space and, again, you can take it off when you get on the plane.
4. Remember...there are weight limitations for the luggage! And they will weigh each piece and there will be no gray area. 50.5lbs will require extra fees or an "in the airport" repacking.
But...they don't weigh you. Whatever you can take on your person saves weight in the luggage!
5. Don't forget to pack your malaria meds.
6. Each team member has a water filtration system bottle in my office to be picked up.
7. The cots are also in my office to be picked up.
