Always a New Twist

I met with my amazing mentors/co-travelers last night. Always a great education and boost to my shaky confidence. There's a leg of our trip from Goma to Butembo before the 4 hours of switchback ground travel to the Tayna Nature Reserve. This Goma to Butembo is a flight in a puddle jumper (my personal favorite). Well, the luggage limit for this trip is 30 lbs! 30lbs? 30lbs?:( This means packing for a camping trip (except for the tent) Mosquito repellant, mosquito net for bed, travel size, toothpaste, sunblock. hand sanitizer. Flashlight and batteries, camera, toilet paper, soap, camera...you get the idea. It also requires the purchase of another smaller nylon duffle bag. 30 lbs? Never a dull moment!
