Yup, just weighed the duffle and it comes in at 20/lbs (with room to spare). With the carryon, maybe another 12/lbs. It's the carryon with "stuff" that's the killer. And that with enough wears for the entire trip.
But this doesn't include my backpack and all those big faced, tri-color USD. Thankfully, the camera doesn't weigh much; rather light, in fact.
So, either, I forgot lots, or I'm ready for a trip to the Delta! It's scary!

Leely -
No! Not all the wears in the carryon. Just one and a t-shirt change in case the worst happens... what can that be? Hey, that's really the only way we know just how much we don't need in Afree-kah or anywhere.
So, if no wears, what else... hairblower, curling iron, fire mask, "stuff" (other than makeup - shampoo, deodorant, powder, meds, etc. etc. etc.), adapter plugs, a few business folders, 35mm camera/film, first-aid kit, extra plastic ties... that's about it.
Patty - I'm still dumbfounded, that I'm under! Know, you'll do just as well. It gets easier, each trip when you return and see what you didn't wear, let alone needed.

I wish I was underweight. <pout>
HAVE A FAB TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you guys recommend NOT sleeping so that you'll be extra tired, or going ahead and sleeping normally the night before the first leg?

I'd TRY to sleep the night before. You have a looong way to go. Would getting rid of some of the $1 bills help the weight issue?

I recently did a trial packing for our trip in 12 days and I was under. I have a backpack which weighs 16 lbs and a daypack with photo stuff which weighs about 10 lbs. So that makes 26 total and all carry on. I'm not going to check anything going out. Coming back is another thing. My backpack unzips and gets bigger and I'll have room for purchases. Also bringing a fold away bag empty to have even an extra checked bag. Is there anything to buy?

Hee hee. I wish, Patty. It's the damn camera gear, totally. My check-in duffle weights about 5 pounds! ;-)
Well, maybe 10.
I will just take half a xanax and sleep pretty well. I normally sleep quite easily but tomorrow night - heck tonight! - might be an exception.

Yes, Dennis at least I'll have the hairblower and be well coifed, as if the animals care.
Slept like a babe last night (thank you Trazodone); up at 6:15am and online with Afree-kah with last minute stuff.
I'm sure I won't need those sleeping pills in-country as the fresh air knocks me out, like it does a baby. By the time I arrive in JRO, I'll have been on the go about 48-hrs. Though should get some hours of sleep on the flights... I do sleep on planes. For certain, I'll sleep very well that first night; thankfully, we don't have to be up the following morning for a 00-dark-30 flight to somewhere/anywhere.
Will be signing off soon and that's it till next I find a 'puter.
Unfortunately, the trip will be over too soon and June 8th will be here too soon.
Now, I expect everyone to behave while I'm gone!!! Or not! Will miss you all!

Believe Magellan's sells these... about $60, good for 3-yrs before expiration date (maybe it's 5-yrs) know I replaced mine last year.
Perfume is a no-no while out in the bush, as is scented anything; unless you wish to attract animals.
