Zambia or Bust!!!!!

So here is my attempt at a complete packing list.  I tried to actually pack today but got a little overwhelmed so I revamped my packing list-hopefully this will help.  I also felt as if I wasn't packing enough....I am kind of the opposite of a hoarder....I am a compulsive purger of 'stuff'. Maybe I am packing just the right amount of 'stuff' but reading other blogs makes me feel otherwise. My mom is coming over tomorrow and Thursday to spend some quality time with me before I leave.

We had a going away party on Saturday at my sisters house.  It was pretty much perfect.  My friend Sarah O. came to visit and surprised the shit out of me!!!! It was beautiful.  Here is a video of my mom, dad, step mom, two sisters and myself doing shots together!!! Toasting to none other than AFRICAAAA!!!!! And not to mention I saw Brookie AND Jared!!!! Perfection!!!

I first tried to organize my list into categories but then just kept adding stuff to wherever so sorry for the confusion....any ideas, suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated.  And I would have put this under a Packing Tab but I can't figure out how to rearrange my blog and add tabs.....I am also a little technologically disadvantaged.  I also need a tab for my contact information and a wish list. HELP!!!
