I got off the strugglebus! Realizing I'm a bit of a 'builder' by nature, and struggle during periods of deconstruction and contraction. Looking forward to being in Chile and back in a phase of 'building'!
I have about a week and a half before I leave, and I think I'm ready! Large backpack (checked bag), daypack (carry-on), briefcase (personal item), and weather stations (checked bag) are all packed -- weather stations are in a large box that I'll be rolling around with a luggage cart. When I get to Santiago, I'll visit a customs agent at the airport and pay ~$1000 in taxes and fees to import the weather stations (!) The research institute I'm working with wants to pay this for me so they can keep the equipment.
