To Pack This or Not to Pack That

I've never been very good at packing whether it's for a day, night, weekend, week, month or in this case two months!! 99.9% of the time I pack too much and end up lugging around things that I never end up using. With just a few days left until I head down to Trenton to visit family and friends before I go, I must make up my mind about what to bring. I am currently going through the thought process of different occasions when I might need a certain item of clothing.

For example:

• I will be working approximately 5 days a week with penguins and dead fish therefore I will need a clean set of clothes everyday.
  
• I will have my evenings as well as a couple days a week free to do various outings such as hiking, cultural tours and visiting restaurants and will therefore need a few selections.
  
• During my final week in S.A. I will be doing a tour of the Cape which includes various activities ranging from a visit to a brewery, zip-lining and going on a safari.
  
• Lastly, I will be in S.A. during their winter. I have been told to pack plenty of warm clothes as it gets very "cold" in the evenings and that it will probably be too cold for swimming at the beaches. Now their definition of cold is 8-10 degrees, but after spending the last 2 years in Northern Ontario, 8-10 degrees sounds like a usual summer morning. They will know I'm Canadian because I will probably be the only one relaxing at the beach!

It also doesn't help that I'm a Libra and therefore always have trouble making decisions. Pack, repack, pack, repack - this will be my life for the next few days!!!

Just 13 days until I leave!
