With two days to go, I am in a near frenzy state in anticipation and closing the last details.
We have a small technical problem. My group is in charge of Coffee Break on the first day. This is on the way from Tel Aviv to Jo'burg and continuing to Durban. A trip in itself which will take 20 hors. Problem is we are not near any place where we can make it ourselves. Purchasing coffee for 50 women can be a big expense. Does anyone have any ideas?
Apart from that I am looking for a solution to recharge the lithium battery on my Kodak camera. I think this is a problem, as I purchased the camera three years ago in Florida. I was told there is some cable connection from the lighter in the car. I feel my options in Tiberius are limited. Nobody in her right mind buys a new camera before a trip. So I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Maybe we'll take turns so I won't use up my battery the first day. Luckily, one of the women in my crew is a journalist / photographer, so we will not lack of records for the journey.
I think tonight I shall start filling my duffel bag. Wearing a matching uniform definitely saves space in clothing choices. I hope I will find those travel towels which are lightweight and dry quickly. I was also told that there are special heating packages that create warmth when opened. Rather like those light sticks.
Dear friends, I am very moved by all your kind words of support and ego boosting. Thank you very much. I look forward to filling you all in as we get closer to departure.

flash, why not bring a large jar of Instant coffee and lots of sugar!
remember how Yosef would make us cold coffee? By mixing a bit of hot water with the coffee and a load of sugar to disolve and mix very well in cup and then add cold water and ice cubes from the plane...? or is this illegal? I think it might be the best way since what are you going to do bring a gallon of Hot coffee in thurmous ?also you could use powder milk.? that could work unless they want hot coffee.
also, why not buy a new camera? They are so cheap now and the batteries so big! I have a sony camera that cost under 2oo.oo and the battery last for a long time. it might be worth it especially if you want to be in control of it yourself and not have to depend on the other women. Just a thought.
You know you have me so excited. this is a book and a half. Keep copious notes.
ps. you know I love you and will hold you in my mind so you are safe.
