Starting in 10 days I will no longer have a room at my brother's house. Does it look like it? Well, I put some stuff in bins the other day and got rid of a bunch of stuff, but other than that, my room is in full use. Why would my room look like its in full use if I'm leaving in 10 days? Oh yeah, that's right. I haven't started getting stuff ready to go yet. I've done some shopping, but actual packing? Of course not. There are still 10 days for me to pack with. Do I know how much stuff I can take? Two bins of 50 pounds each. Do I know how much stuff I want to take? Not at all. Will my stuff fit in two bins? I have no clue. Do I have an alternative? Nope. Given my luggage limitations, I'm beginning to work on what to take, and what is staying. I did it when I went to the Philippines too and I didn't have any problems. In fact, it's always humbling to realize that out of all the crap one accumulates in life, all you need is two bins. Actually, less than that because I probably won't use everything I take. There was always that one thing that was so important when packing, that never made it out of the suitcase when I got there.
It's also humbling to realize when traveling that my two bins of stuff is still way more than many people have in their homes that they live in.

2 bins? It reminds me of the time I lived in the back of my S-10 for a summer after just b4 my MA. I didn't much more than that. In part, it was liberating -- a few books, clothes, laptop, camping gear. Why did it have to snow in early May, though?
Good luck with your journey and work. I want to see lots of pics (maybe a Flash movie?) and perhaps some edits to the Goma wiki entrie!
