T-12 Days

Things are starting to come together, I have my tickets (via Thailand and Kenya – a total of 25 hours of flying EACH WAY), I am vaccinated up to the eye balls with every tropical vaccine known to man, I am insured against attacks from the deadliest animal in Africa – the hippo, I have a digital camera thanks to my family, I have a pocket full of travels checks and foreign currency and I have my viewmaster. So “Chuff Chuff Chow off to Africa I must go” (only my family will get that reference to my demented childhood).
