A few things are official

Starting with my plane ticket. Bought and paid for. (Twenty dollars to anyone that can cite that movie reference.)

I'm almost as excited about my itinerary as I am the trip to Uganda itself. 
On July 15, I fly from Houston to Chicago, were I meet up with another volunteer before catching an evening flight to London. From London, the journey continues to Nairobi and after landing in Nairobi, the final stretch is a short flight to Entebbe, Uganda. The trip home follows the same course, however I have a 20 hour layover in London. Should make for a really fun time, if I'm not too exhausted from so much travel and service beforehand.

The other official thing, I am vaccinated for the next 100 years probably. Today I had a travel consultation and in this meeting with Dr. Blue, I received a Rx for Larium - Malaria prevention, typhoid fever vaccination, yellow fever vaccination, polio boosters, tetanus booster, and diphtheria booster. Needless to say, my left arm is sore and my pocketbook is a little less full, but I feel good and safe now. 

Everything is coming up so fast. I can't wait. Less than one month!

Everyone Counts
