Last Minute Second Guessing

Well reality is setting in - 27 months is knocking on the door and the nervousness is kicking it up a notch. By the way - anyone know how to pack for 2 years? Kind of a daunting task isn't it? I know I will be able to buy things in Honduras but I'm sure there will be something I can't buy but will want 2 years down the road. Now if I could just think of what that is.

I've been stressing a little about packing as you can tell - sort of a struggle between my idealistic and realistic halves. My idealistic half says "screw it, throw some cloths in bag, and roll with it". I can get whatever I need in Honduras and isn't the goal to go NATIVE anyway? My realistic half tells me I'm too soft to go native, it's not going to happen, and there is no need to sacrifice on the packing and make myself miserable down the road and it's better to be prepared.

THE COMPROMISE: try to relax, pack light but rationally, and accept the fact that I can't be totally prepared (I haven't given up on going Native just yet though)
