I was actually making that comment to my girly friends yesterday during our Harry Potter night (because, yes, we do watch a HP movie every week...)! I'm thinking I should just do the math like you did and figure out my pack's dimensions and figure out which duffel to bring (btw I'm impressed by duffel/duffle's dexterity!) and start to packing! I mean, we only have 55 days to accumulate, sort, cut, and pack everything! Ahh! :)Tija Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10796799158786653023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446216814457123982.post-8249162332021812372011-02-04T16:06:30.619-05:002011-02-04T16:06:30.619-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tija Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10796799158786653023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446216814457123982.post-86404851081937795312011-02-04T15:29:40.890-05:002011-02-04T15:29:40.890-05:00Tija, I did look at dimensions and stuff. Measure...Tija, I did look at dimensions and stuff. Measured my pack and did the math to figure out how big my duffel could be (BTW, did you know that duffle can be spelled two ways correctly??). I ordered a duffle that's as big as possible but still within the linear requirement of 107 linear inches when added to the dimensions of the pack I'm checking. Absolutely no way that it's all coming with me. It's just not possible. I need one of those bags like Hermione had in the 7th Harry Potter book or like the Mary Poppins bag- small, but held impossibly large amounts of stuff. Where is magic when you need it? Ashley, that's awesome that they give you a sleeping bag- and you are allowed extra weight for Mongolia, too, right? I really wish I didn't have to bring one, but everyone's said that the sleeping bag is priceless on cold Botswana nights. It takes up so much room in my luggage, even in its stuff sack. I got the PC luggage tags at a Buffalo-area RCPV/prospective PCV potluck dinner event I went to back in June. They're pretty cool!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693879878994980414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446216814457123982.post-61357737638945572842011-02-04T15:13:52.784-05:002011-02-04T15:13:52.784-05:00I'm simultaneously impressed and overwhelmed j...I'm simultaneously impressed and overwhelmed just looking at your pile. That's insane. I haven't even started thinking about packing yet, but I'm kind of terrified to now. Especially since I have all of my heavy cold clothes to pack. Bonus: they give us a sleeping bag though. More importantly, where'd you get the nifty PC luggage tags??ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15710120594879711532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446216814457123982.post-49054905433048114572011-02-04T13:05:13.263-05:002011-02-04T13:05:13.263-05:00Uh oh!

I was also thinking that I needed to take a closer look at the dimensions of allowed luggage so I could figure out what that looked like. Have you done that yet? Maybe I should start thinking about the particulars before it's too late!Tija Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10796799158786653023noreply@blogger.com
