Uganda Update

Tomorrow I head over to the University Travel Clinic for my first round of vaccinations and medical prescriptions. Included in the fray will likely be Hep A, Meningococcal (meningitis), Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, a prescript for Malaria meds, and a check of my Hep B antibodies, and perhaps a Polio booster. Sounds like fun, eh? I may have a sore arm this weekend.

This is the travel blog of a colleague named Huong, who I have never actually met. She spent quite a while in Uganda at our rental house and working on site until recently. Numerous pics of people I know and other people/places/things I suppose I will soon get to know. (link is to the beginning of her time there)

Still no solid itinerary...waiting.

Don't know much about the others, but here's what I remember from my China trips in the 80's:

The Hep A made a big lump in the back pocket :-)

With Typhoid, move and massage your arm as much as possible. Heat packs are good too. Plan on flu-like symptoms for a day or so...take Tylenol before you go in.

Are you sure you'll want to swing a hammer this weekend?
