4 Days Before Departure

Four days before I fly, and my to do list is still at least 2 pages long. With a 20kg weight limit, I have packed surprisingly light. It's strange how liberating it can be just packing the basics, including clothes you haven't worn in goodness knows how long, and probably never will upon return. The contents of my suitcase do nothing to sum me up as a person. I have packed the necessities - recommended on the 'kit list', and still feel like I have a lot more to prepare before Monday.
   Things keep popping into my head, like 'I need to sort out my camera', 'I need to get some Kenyan cash for emergencies', and 'I need to be better prepared!!' But I don't feel prepared. Not yet, and here I am sat doing a blog. (Although that was on my 'to do' list too!) Don't get me wrong, it definitely feels very real now, especially after everything on the news about Kenya at the moment. We have been told that we shouldn't worry, that the programme is still on, but it is a bit nerve racking.
   Anyway, feeling a little more motivated, I'm off to prepare! I don't know whether I will have internet access to add to my blog whilst I am away, and am not expecting to, but I will be writing everything down in a journal and will add it upon my return!
