The Travel Clinic

Shots: Yellow Fever, Polio, MMR, Hepatitis A, Meningococcal Meningitis.
Pill Vaccinations: Typhoid Fever (4 pills)
Pills While I'm There: Malaria

Five. Coutn'em: Five shots one right after the other. Three in my left arm, two in my right. Ouch. I had this done yesterday at the travel clinic in Dartmouth. I didn't mind it at all at the time, but once I had done a little shopping after and discovered that I could barely lift the bags, that's when it bothered me. It also bothered me last night when I discovered that a) I cannot lay on my side, and b) anytime I do I wake up right away. Not much sleep for me last night!

Sat in outpatients for an hour and a half to get my malaria and typhoid precrescriptions today. Truely a wonderful way to pass the time, I recommend it to anyone who has nothing better to do.

Now I'm trying to figure out exactly when I can leave. I Called the Baha'i National Centre to see if they have any more information about the visa I need to get, however the person I have to talk to isn't there. The visa is pretty much the only remaining factor for when I can leave.

Preparation

It appears that I will be going to The Gambia near the end of April or early May. We'll know for sure after tomorrow, I'm going in to a Travel Clinic to discuss the shots that I need to have. This is the determining factor for when I can leave.
I don't really have very much information at this point. I am going to The Gambia. I will be teaching computers, I don't know what specifically. I have a place to live. That's about it.
More details will come as I learn about them.
