Preparation

So obviously when traveling to Africa, or anywhere out of the country for that matter, you need to get your shots... Which was great fun. 7 in the right and left arm one day, followed by a series of 3 more, the last of which is scheduled to happen at 2 o clock today. We were immunized against just about everything including typhoid, rabies, H1N1, yellow fever, polio, Hep A and B, malaria and a few others... which is all very reassuring. Now instead of dying if I get bit by a rabid dog, I can last for up to 72 hours without treatment! Or something along those lines...

First Post

We leave for Africa a week from today. It's insane how fast this trip came up, and we still have tons to do before we are fully prepared to leave. I will be taking my computer along with me, and the blog will be updated with stories and photos as I have time...
