- Chacos (seriously...I don't pack any other shoes)
- Osprey Aura 50 backpack
- Nalgene with splashguard (wide mouth water bottle is easier to hand wash, hard [for me] to drink from without the splashguard)
- Power strip (maybe not completely advisable, but allows for several American devices to be charging on one outlet)
- Bible & journal (the real things; don't cop out and make these electronic)
- Kindle (I'm as much a fan of real books as the next person, but this is a must-have when traveling)
- Headlamp (hands-free vision, yes please!)
- Tootsie Rolls (they don't melt in the hot African sun and are a little chocolatey taste of home)
- Sleeping bag liner (keeps you warm on chilly flights, just the right amount of warmth & cleanliness when you're sleeping in beds with questionable sheets)
