Vaccine - check!

Got the ball rolling, made a few appointments with my doctor for all the vaccines I need before departure.
Last week I had a rabies shot, and I'm happy to announce that no frothy saliva occurred, and I do hope that's a good sign.
Yesterday it was time for typhoid and tetanus, not that great as I have big red swellings on my both arms...
Next week it's time for polio and hepatitis A & B. At least the hepatitis, rabies and typhoid are life long protection, so they are ticked off for good. I must admit it is nice to see my yellow book being filled up line by line with "protection".

No need to pick up the malaria tablets just yet, as I only need to start taking them the day before departure.

Emailed Berit 2 weeks ago, but still no news. Am not worried just yet, but have a feeling I will be soon. =/
I have realised that I actually do have quite many questions to ask her. - Practical as well as emotional.
What should I bring for the girls? Anything they need, that I can contribute with?
What should I bring for myself? Or not bring...
Are there other volunteers at the same time, or is it only me? Bus, hotel, taxi et.c....

Well well, I am sure it will be fine in the end.

In the middle of all this I have stumbled across a what I would refer to as a luxury problem; making the right choice for hotel on Zanzibar.
People who know me, also know how indecisive I can be at times, and how frustrating that can be.
Found something that felt like the perfect hotel, on the beach, with white sand and turquoise water outside the window. - Ah, such a dream!
Then I was told the staff is unfriendly and hotel is generally over rated, was recommended another one, but not at the same location, and now I just do not know....

Need to get my neck around it, tomorrow must be decision time! GO FOR IT as one of my friends would say!
