I couldn't sleep last night - so at about 2:30 in the morning, I started reading my Lonely Planet book on Tanzania. I read about the food, transportation, and medical preparations and planning. What I concluded is the following:

• I will either gain alot of weight or starve
• I better start immunizations now
• I will NOT be drinking the water or anything that has been rinsed in the water
• I will be packing alot of Kashi Bars
• I may actually have more medication than clothing - including alot of imodium and whatever it is you take for motion sickness

And strangely - I am even more wicked excited about this trip! But...the next time I pickup the book, I am going to focus on the National Parks!

I'm still anxiously awaiting further information on the nature of the project I will be working on. I am supposed to be on my first call with the new team on Thursday morning - but...as luck would have it, the call is during the time I will be on an airplane - so I will catch up with the team this Friday.
