This weekend I sat down packing and repacking my luggage to go to Nigeria. I know this may seem a little impulsive... okay I lie... Very impulsive seeing that I haven't even bought my tickets from British Airways. Something just pushed me over the edge.. could it be, the forecast reporting that that the next 3 days would be 20 degrees, with a wind chill factor of below O degrees. I think that might have done it !
I packed my basic necessities and the list reads:
a. malaria medication ( check)
b. Pepto bismol and wipes (check)
c. Motrin (check) I get serious migraines...
d. sun tan and sun block (check) I am tired of stupid people screaming out yellooowww... when they want me to buy something from them, (like that is actually going to make me buy anything)
e. toiletries (check)
f. camera and film(check) I am an aspiring photographer( that is until FIRE for FIRE) jumped into my car and almost wheeled me down to the police station. Why didn't anyone tell me I could not take pictures in Abuja?
This is too long to report now it is definitely for a next time.
g. Someone has told me once if you are not really comfortable with Customs checking your bag ( which I am not) you should put your undies on the top layer they will feel too offended to search through it. Great travelling tip I will tell you if it works when I come back.
Or it might have the opposite effect I might find some perv... secretly sniffing my Victoria's and Calvin's...
h. My bathing and summer clothes, that really need to be updated...
i. Trinkets for relatives...( even though I bring them things it is never enough , I always leave with just a little more than the clothes on my back.)
I might be missing something I am just not sure what! Most likely this is just a dry run, I'm almost certain to repack again...
