So here it is, 3 days before I leave, and I haven’t packed a single thing. I estimate that I will be up all night Sunday night packing for my flight early Monday morning. Hopefully, packing won’t be too bad. I just need the normal stuff: clothes, tooth brush, toilet paper, head scarf. Nothing too bad.
I received the best and most interesting advice regarding stuff I should bring:
– A power strip to plug into the adapter/converter. Now I’ll have 6 outlets instead of only one.
– A ring to wear on that finger. Apparently this keeps down some of the heckling from men.
– Sunblock. It is nearly impossible to find in Egypt and it’s only every SPF 8 or lower.
– Bug spray. No brainer.
– Cash. Get cash here in the US to avoid all of those pesky fees abroad and then exchange it there.
Anyway, I’m off to do more procrastinating before I go.
