In preparation for my upcoming trip in T - 72 days (and counting!), I went for my vaccinations today, which I discovered will take more time, effort and money than the "get them all over with in one go" appointment I had hoped for. It seems I haven't had any travel inoculations in nearly 10 years so I had to have three today, which will be followed by three more in the next few weeks. Ouch!
On a positive note, is it slightly morbid that needles have made me really excited about this trip?!!
Next one on the list - my visa for Kenya where I will spend nearly two weeks on safari after volunteering in Rwanda...
Please donate $50 to Global Relief and Development Partners' Social Entrepreneurship Program and Faith Victory's Orphanage in Kigali, Rwanda. Every dollar makes a difference.
