-Paper work to go to Tanzania Do they really need kids report card?????
-separating "good money" from bad Tanzania only takes money printed after 2006
-they don't take credit cards only occasionally traveler checks
-getting kids to join in on this organization
-the entire idea of taking kids halfway across the world
-have not yet gotten our malaria meds from our stinking mail order pharmacy
-making sure our suitcases don't weigh over 50 pounds (cost for overage on Africa trips is ONLY $200.00)
-leaving my Mom with my very much ailing dog who suffers from sever depression when I am home from work later then 5:30 (that would be the dog, Mom may be welcoming the relief from my craziness)
-leaving my patients and Doc at work when I know things should be in better shape
-planning on taking only a couple packs of cigarettes, using this trip to give them up (again)
Remedy:
-have gotten very good at compartmentalization. Plan to forget about all of this (except the cigarettes) when we get on the first plane of our 26 hours in the air!
That's a lot to get organized before leaving, wow! They sure are particular about what they will accept (money, report cards, etc.). I hope you guys have a fantastic trip. It's crazy that you'll be halfway around the world for a month, and leaving in TWO days! Have fun!
