well, it's the beginning in our ACTUAL preperations for AFRICA! we knew this day would come, but were still not quite prepared. even though we've been planning this trip for like 3 months, this is the first real step towards getting ready that i think we've taken. this day we had to get 4 shots...2 for each arm...typoid, hep B, polio, and yellow fever. luckily though, i had already had my tetnus and meningitis so i didn't have to get those, but poor Casey had to come back a couple days before we left to get those 2! Sorry Case!
