Bend In The Road:Tanzania: Packing for 2 years

How do I pack for 2 years? Well, I don't. We basically pack for a few months & by that time we'll have been able to purchase whatever else we need. PC provides a packing list, but says that we can't pack all of the items on the list- we have to decide what is appropriate for us while making sure we also bring the required items. This made it hard to pack as I wanted a "pack this" and "don't bring that" list. We are limited two 2 pieces of checked luggage, totaling no more than 80 pounds with no more than 50 pounds in one piece, plus 1 carry-on. There are also linear dimension restrictions on the luggage. After all of my packing struggles, here's what I think I've ended up with!

Wow, that's a lot of stuff as I look at it! I actually had more (mostly duplicates of stuff, like 2 duct tapes & several contact solution bottles, etc.), but I took out the extras & boxed them up to send to myself. If you're wondering why I have few educational items packed, I have two good reasons. First, they didn't fit! Second, I won't need them until I start teaching in January, so they are packed up in boxes ready to be sent. Those boxes include things like a gradebook, markers, more math games, chalk, folders, office supplies in addition to my duplicate personal supplies that didn't fit in my bags. Here are some pictures of my attempts at packing!

Laying out some of the clothes I want to take. Notice the entire bed, lots of soft mattress space, lots of cushy clothes, and the 1 hard folder that Newton chose to sleep on while helping me pack!
