Ke Nako! – It’s Time!

It’s been a crazy past few weeks with graduation parties over Memorial weekend, my 10 year Swellesley reunion last week and now it’s time!

KE NAKO!

It’s the day of departure and I have not yet packed. Unbelievable. I’ve had to coordinate several meetings at work as well as a lecture, which as usual was poorly attended.  I swear we should just do away with Grand Rounds instead of wasting people’s time. 

But now?! Ke Nako! It’s time!

My mission is to pack a single carry on bag (in addition to my handbag of course). One single carry on bag to feature my patriotic sportsgear, coldgear (as it’s winter in South Africa), party wear and then clothes for Ethiopia where it is much much warmer. 3 weeks worth of clothing! Layering is going to be KEY!  I have never before packed for an international trip hours before departure. Luckily, I succeeded in packing just my single bag with minutes to spare before heading off to the airport though I suspect I took far more than necessary.
