Hostels and Shots August 13, 2009

Hey LE Family!

I figured I’d post (make Harry happy, you know) about what Sarah and I have been talking about today for hours on end.

Well, we are taking a little excursion after LE to Johannesburg, South Africa and have been having a killer time figuring out where we’re staying and what we’re doing, including tours of the city and possibly a safari. There are so many hostels to choose from with so many different options (one good site we were using was hostelworld.com).  It’s all a little bit frightening – making plans online to do things half way around the world.

Another thing I’m struggling with is deciding to get shots or not. Today my doctor told me I probably should be getting Hep A, Hep B (which I already have), typhoid, yellow fever, and malaria pills. Gah. That’s alot of shots. So I guess I’m off to the travel clinic next week.

And a final fun thing I did today was buy travel insurance off of worldnomad.com. So that was a relief, especially for my mother.

Talk to you all soon,
Amanda
