All pieces together...

All pieces are not quite yet together, but it's moving in the right direction...

Called Berit today, so nice to hear her happy voice, she's a true voice of inspiration!
Logistics seems to be in place, taxi driver Valencio will pick me up at the airport in Dar, and take me to the YMCA (Yes, I will be staying at the YMCA, so if you are going to laugh, please do it now), and on friday he will take me to the busstation.
I have been provided with instructions of where to get off the bus, and they are what one can call vague... "The bus will drive through 2 reserves, and up a mountain, count on 6-8h, then there will be a steep ascent, (you will notice that)and once you are up, there's another 10 min and you should get off." Wish me good luck on that one.

As for packing, I have gone from not worried at all to being obsessed with the thought of what to pack, how to pack and when.
At least I know that I wont be needing to bring sheets, sleeping bag, towels and such, so that's a few things less to think about.
Guess the essentials are med's (especially malaria med's), passport, workpermit, tickets and some cash, the rest can always be improvised.
