"The Gambia Connection: Attacking AIDS"

The last of CBC's Special report on The Gambia can be downloaded here. Once again, the RealPlayer is needed to view the file. It can be downloaded here.

I am so busy in the mornings when I'm home (I've been working nights for a while now). So far today I have confirmed my ticket and flight information. I will be flying from Halifax (leaving around 1:20pm) to Toronto, from there to Frankfurt, from there to Brussels and from Brussels to Banjul (The capital of The Gambia), I arrive around 5:20 (aprox.) the day after I leave Halifax!

I've also figured out some of the details of the visa application. I am now waiting to hear back from the travel agency about when exactly I will be scheduled to leave The Gambia so I can put that date on my visa application. The visa is pretty much the only thing left to acquire before I leave.


In other news: I successfully swallowed a pill; specifically one of the Typhoid Fever vaccination pills I have. I have never been able to swallow pills before, and a few days ago I trained myself to swallow things like that by chopping up Cheerios into different pill-sized segments. YAY!
