Off to Luanda

Luggage for my flight to Luanda, Angola
I wanted to make a quick post to see how this works.  The picture is what I will be taking on the plane minus one other carry-on bag.  To give you an idea of what I am taking here is a quick summary:

  • Lots and lots of clothes and shoes (I am working as a mule already and will bring two pair of sandals to one of the guys already there)
  • Lots and lots of Hand Santizer (wipes and mini-bottles)
  • Lots and lots of Bug Spray (see above)
  • 365 days of Malaria medication (I am going to give it a try for now)
  • A full medicine cabinet and some condoms
  • PS3 and a small TV
  • 800+ DVDs
  • Food Dry (tuna fish packets, pasta, sauces, mayo, spices, oatmeal etc)
  • Food Frozen (30 1 lbs tubes of ground chick, beef, turkey, ribeye steaks, bacon, 14 lbs of cheese and some frozen berries)
  • A 2 gallon water distiller
  • I am carrying on a good amount of my works clothes/shoes, my camera stuff, iPad, Laptop, and a basic toiletry kit.
I already took three crates when I went in March that had a couple of electrical transformers, two charcoal grills, toilet paper, paper towels, and a bunch of other bulk toiletries.

I  also sent a sea shipment that had golf clubs, scuba equipment, a safe, more TP, a bean bag game, extra mops/brooms, lots more shoes, they are super expensive there.  I also sent a bunch of old shoes to give to the locals. I shipped a bunch of stuff for the dude who is keeping the crates that I brought last time.


Thats all, my next post will be from Luanda, Angola.
