Senegal, Here I come!!

I still can't believe I'm really going to Senegal tomorrow!!!! I'm so excited but nervous at the same time as I don't know what to expect to experience in Senegal.
I spent last few day going to BJs, Walmart, and the mall to buy things for Senegal and here are some things that I packed.
1. 18 mini hand sanitizers
2. 2 rolls of toilet papers
3. lots of wet wipes
4. 2 big insect repellents
5. 2 big SPF75 sunscreens
6. multi-vitamins
7. 30 packs of granola bars
8. 3 instant noodles
9. about 30 packs of friut jellys
10. about 30 packs of almonds
................................and much more....................
But the thing is, although I feel like I bought everything for this trip, I still feel like I'm missing something. I don' know why I'm feeling this way but I'm just hoping I packed everything!!
