Preparing for my Trip

I am in the midst of preparing for my trip to Africa. I have gotten my typhoid shot, insect repellent spray, and malaria pills so I am all set on that front. I have to go shopping still for a few things to take with me like my energy bars, microwave popcorn (I hear from experience travelors that its good take along for a snack), and travel size toiletries. At some point I have to actually pack as well. Attempting to travel light but having never been to Africa just don't know to take but I will figure it. Oh did I mention I am very excited about this opportunity. Will write more later but I wanted to get something up on the blog to start with.
