Goal: two cities, five weeks, one suitcase (must weigh less than 50 lbs to win)
So, added to last week’s styles are sturdy clothes for winter in Johannesburg, with excursions to see lions, leopards, Victoria Falls (on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe), and I hope to see some elephants, rhinos, giraffes, and zebras as well as all manner of springbok and other deer. I will still be working and trying to find some great candid photos of some of the life in South Africa.
It all fits! And I weighed the bag on my digital scale — 24 lbs! Of course, that is before beauty products. This exercise is helping me with my packing anxiety. At least for the short term.
So, for my trip to Frankfurt, and then the next four weeks in Joburg, I have added layers. Here’s the bullet list:
- Cargo pants, heavy weight and ready to be destroyed
- Camouflage print pants
- African wax print skirt
- Vintage yellow polo sweater
- Yellow cardigan
- Olive lightweight wool sweater
- White T-shirt
- White thin cotton turtleneck
- Black T-shirt
- Mauve T-shirt
- Metallic tank sweater
- White rain shell
- Hiking boots
- Birkenstocks
- Black flip flops
- Olive drab jacket with “flair”
- Three scarves, one cotton gingham, one rayon, one polyester (all white background, with black and a hint of accent color)
I think that I might be doing at least one more adjustment…
