Okay, let's see here...Do I need this shirt? Oh yes, definitely, it will be helpful during those colder months to have a long sleeved shirt like this one. What about this one? Well, the color is a little deeper, more brilliant, I will feel better in this shirt, so yeah, I've got to bring this one as well. Well, what about these other ones? Well, yeah, I think I am going to need all of them, you know, you can never be too prepared!

Ugh, this is impossible! I think I need everything and I can honestly justify it ALL! I am usually the girl who packs just enough, and not for looking good, but just to have clothes on my back, and usually I develop this "Ugly Betty" complex as EVERYONE else looks cuter than I do. I am not sure why I feel it is necessary to look cute in Africa, but the thought is a little comforting, I mean, who knows what the situations will be, at the very least I can look cute while I am in them, Right? Before you all judge me as the shallow girl that I know that I can be, just remember that you would be thinking the same things, but I will fess up to them, I can be honest, okay?! :)
So, I might be doing some re-adjusting of my bags, getting rid of a few red long sleeved shirts, MAYBE...depends on how I am feeling when I do my do-over of the packing, but don't hold me to it! Yeah, this is difficult, have you ever tried packing for a year and fitting in all into two pieces of luggage that don't weigh more than 50lbs? I would like to hear how you did since you obviously think I am ridiculous by this point!
Just livin' the dream....

I will be in Africa for the next year volunteering with Hands@Work, a Christian missions agency based in South Africa. Here you will be able to join me on my journey through Africa and stay connected with me throughout the year. Be sure to stay close! Miss you already!

Your so vain you probably think this song is about you, your so vain you probably think this song is about you don't you don't you!
Oh Meg, It's ridiculous how much I'm going to miss you, even though we already live so far away! I can't text message you anytime I want! And you won't check my email within minutes of me sending it. You're going to forget about me. You're going to fall in love with some South African man (hopefully one who doesn't have AIDS, and never come back. If that happens, I am going to fly to Africa, and come and get you!
I'm also incredibly scared for you, I think of going to Africa for a year and it sends me into a panic attack!
You are leaving in 2 days! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! Send a million pictures!

Say don't forget to bring along a...uh...red shirt. It might come in handy. Oh you got that one covered I see.
Living the dream Sunshine Girl!
Love you,
Aunty Vicky
