Well our preparation meeting on Sunday went well, Meredith was able to find and convince a Bangladeshi student at NAU to come speak to us about his country and what to expect, which was very good information! Thank you Arzeen!
We also took our group photo with the gorgeous snow in Flagstaff as a back drop, so hopefully soon I will be able to post that on the blog, and here's hoping we don't look as cold as we felt!
Today is my appointment for my Typhoid shot (yikes) and I plan on asking about anti-malarial meds that would work over there... I won't be getting the Japanese Encephalitis or Rabies shots as (gently) suggested by the CDC, because my insurance wouldn't cover them and they are quite expensive, but I know most of the rest of the team is... I'll just have to wrap myself in mosquito netting I guess!
Otherwise, we are still waiting on our visas to come through and finishing up our presentations for when we are over there! I am also working on training the ladies who will so generously be backing me up while I am out of the office, and organizing myself with my bills and banking accounts and items I need to pack, and the 2 million other things I need to worry about before leaving the country for a month!
