Now that most of the group planning is complete, it's time to focus on the individual self.
I got my trusty backpack from my prior European excursions, which will do just fine for my inaugural African adventure.
Something I need to pack this time around, however, is some warmer clothing as temperatures near Johannesburg drop to low single digits at night.
Oh I need to exchange my Canadian dollars to South African rands. This looks like a good place: http://www.guardianfx.com/
Shoot, I still need to get insect repellent with high DEET content. I guess any Canadian Tire location will do.
Man, I was also going to get an extra memory card for my camera.
What else?
Passport renewed. Check. Universal plug adapter. Check. Mechanical flashlight? Check. Teddy bears? Check.
The teddy bears are for the kids at the orphanage I'll be visiting. I swear.
