Just a little pinch


A lot has happened in the last few months as we prepare for our trip. On December 13th Christine, Dan and I headed to the travel clinic to get our dreaded vaccinations. I've been told before that I can be a little dramatic, but seriously those needles HURT. I could feel every single vaccination enter my body, and could barely lift my arm the next day. It even hurt for a few days to follow, accompanied by a nice bruise. But, that's just one more thing to cross off our list, and I'm glad it's over! 
So? When can I start?
We are now protected from Hepatitis A&B, typhoid, meningitis, and yellow fever. We also got some gigantic malaria pills, some pills for altitude sickness, and some magic potion for traveler’s diarrhea. The only bad thing about all of this is that I have to wait to take them until right before we go, and I want to start NOW! Yeah, that’s sarcasm; I have issues swallowing pills so I try to avoid them at all costs. I am not looking forward to this. 
Who knows, maybe my mom will come along with us and chop them into tiny little pieces, and hide them in my food? Would you do that for me mom?

  1. I hear your pain, sister. All those fun needles and MORE. :) My heart cries for you, with you, and sorta laughs at you. Nice, eh? And btw, your photo cracks me up
