Counting Down...

We leave soon for Africa! We've definitely started thinking about what to pack (very little, but enough). Although the weather will be mostly hot (70s-80s), it could get cold (mid-upper 30s) at night, especially at some of the higher elevations. We also need medical kits, bug spray, sunscreen, cameras, binoculars, sleeping bags, clothes and toiletries. There is no room on this trip for a hair dryer or more than 1 pair of shoes! We both need immunizations before we leave - yellow fever, meningitis, typhoid, Hepatitis A, polio and tetanus. We'll also need to start taking our anti-malarials a couple weeks before we go. Our dear neighbor and friend has agreed to watch the dogs and the house when we're gone. I hope she knows what she is getting herself into! We get more excited by the day...
