this camping idea is ridiculous

i've been thinking. how can i be expected to pack as if for a three and a half month long camping trip when i'm expected to dress nicely for work every day? it's impossible. it means that i need decent shoes, for example, instead of just planning to wear tevas all the time. it means that i need a suit and possibly extra suit-like outfits. it means that i need a whole other set of clothes for the days that i'm not working. it means that i need a blow-dryer, of all ridiculous things to bring to africa. one suitcase is not enough. getting separate tickets was cheap, but it's going to kill me with the excess baggage charges. must remember to pack lots in my carry-on - the flight from amsterdam to nairobi only allows you to bring on 10 kilos, so i'll just overpack my carry-on and they will check it for me there. old, old strategy for foiling luggage allowances. ack! too much to do, too little time, too much to bring, too little space.
