Logistics, Logistics, Logistics!

Boring post - I know..but as an update

Drug update: I got my prescriptions for malaria and typhoid, as well as a cipro script - just in case = plus I picked up some meds to sleep on the plane flight - v-important! Tomorrow I get part 2 of Hep A/B plus part 1 of Rabies. I'm also starting to collect meds to take on the trip - advil, pepto, etc.

Visa update: This morning I shipped off my visa application. There were alot of pieces to put together - the application, the letter from the NGO, a money order, bank account statement, 2 passport pics (bad ones too!), my passport, and a self addressed stamped envelope to have my passport and visa returned to me. I have to say I was not thrilled about putting my passport in the mail.

Flights: Woo hoo!!..Flights are all booked. Naturally I fly through Houston to get to Amsterdam, to get to Kiliminjaro on the way to Dar Es Salaam. Backwards you say ...absolutely - BUT...the other option was to go through Newark. Newark has a 100% consistency rating on losing my brothers luggage - so I didn't want to risk that. Rumor also has it that I can get Northwest airmiles on Continental - any tricks to make sure that works would be most welcome.

That's all for now. I'm leading this weeks team call -so that is where my focus is going to be.
