Planning (and overthinking) has been a wonderful way to pass the time before our safari. Unfortunately, I still have a week to go, and I've run out of stuff on my To Do list. Basically, all I have left is physically putting the clothes inside the duffel bag. Constantly checking this forum only takes up so much time--not counting work, of course

I'd love to hear other ways to still be thinking about the trip and get through the last few days before takeoff. - Elaine

Suggestion: pack that duffle a week in advance or so in case something doesn't fit or you need to make an adjustment. You'll have adequate time then.

Good point. That will allow me to do a weight-check also.

constantly checking other people's travel stories (in same area).. checking youtube for video's.. flickr for photo's.. etc. etc.

Better question is...how do you deal with the obsession to go back after you have fallen in love with the place!!!

I'm with you, Neumann! I am always planning our next visit!

Don - Read the user manual? You mean actually learn what all the whizbang settings on my camera are for instead of randomly choosing things?

Good idea. Plus, I bought a monopod to hopefully give me more steadiness with the superzoom. So it might be a good idea to make sure I know how far I can push that.

Thanks - Elaine
