In exactly 12 days from now, and at about this time, I will be boarding an airplane from Nashville to JFK, then onto London. In London we will spend the evening with a 13 hour layover, then on to Africa. Our itinerary was changed a bit, so I am not certain where we fly into arriving in Africa, maybe Kenya or Nairobi, then to Entebbe, Uganda. I believe it's about a 2 1/2 hour drive from Entebbe to Jinja, where we will spend the majority of the remainder of our days and time.
I am all up-to-date on shots, had the Yellow Fever, Hepatitis A and B, and am currently taking a 4 dose, 7 day oral vaccine for Typhoid Fever that will last 5 years. The trip, preparing, packing, planning, all is starting to be realized and with it, comes some anxiousness about being gone for 18 days.
My husband will have a lot on his plate, taking care of all the animals, our niece, Izzy, the house, yard, etc. all in the name of the keeping up with our American dream, while I am experiencing the furthest thing from that, in a third world country. I will actually be living like the 80% plus, of the rest of the people on this earth. I will be living the "norm". That should shed a new light on my perspective, to say the very least.
