We're Really Doin It!

*AAAAAFRICA*

Well, this weekend, we booked our flights for Africa. We leave May 11 and come back May 22! It's all becoming so real. And now that it's March, we're only 2 months away. There is so much to consider and to get done.

*SHOTS*

The appointment is scheduled for our vaccines. We have to get a bunch of them. Yellow Fever and Malaria shots for sure, and a couple others too. We figure out all that stuff next Tuesday at our appointment with the county health department.

*VISAS*

We have to get visiting Visas so that we can get in and out of the country. Apparently, it only takes 3-5 days, but I don't know that I trust that speediness. Better to take care of it sooner, rather than later. I've been spending a lot of my time on the Department of State website, and hopefully I get all the information accurate.

*PASSPORTS*

We both have our visas, luckily! Although, I'm not sure what to do about mine. It has my maiden name on it, which is obviously different from what it is now and what's on my Drivers License. I better get that figured out, especially since we're only 71 days out. CRAZY!!

*LUCKILY*

We are super lucky, because we don't have to worry about transportation, hotels, or anything like that. Lou and Jeri have a truck and an extra bedroom in their apartment. I get more and more excited all the time. We're going to Africa. This is such a once in a lifetime thing. There's no way we'd ever go to Africa, but luckily Lou and Jeri are serving their mission there, making all our dreams come true. We just need to get all of our ducks in a row so we can get out there!
