I will also be getting a bike and helmet in Africa to get around. 

I would like to give a special thanks for all the gifts and support I received from my friends and family that contributed to the completion of this list. I'd have shown up to Africa either very empty handed or with a maxed out credit card I wouldn't be able to pay off from abroad. You all have made me feel very loved.
