Meal Plan
A couple of people have asked about food. We planned our meals for the first part of our trip only. What came after our stay at the Little Lyford Camps remained to be seen and we really had no plan.
I tried to find foods Chris would eat, which proved to be one of the most difficult parts of the trip. he is an extremely picky eater. We would use up our perishable foods in three days. After that everything we had to be shelf stable.
This is how we planned it. It didn’t work out this way, which wasn’t surprising. But in the event we needed it, the food was there.

The last item was delightful, but getting rid of the cans was a major problem. I felt like a teenager stuffing cans into every nook and cranny out of sight until we finally found a recycling bin. It was a bonanza for someone.
