Order – pack – sent off
To go on a cruise requires a lot of equipment, especially when several research projects are planned for seven people from the University of Vienna, two people from the Marine Biology Station of Piran, and one person from the MPI Bremen. This makes 14 boxes full of equipment, tools and lab consumables. I lost track of how many items were ordered and I also lost track of how often I added items to the final list. After writing long packing lists and a custom list, arranging for shipment, finally our stuff was sent off.
