Holly Blogging!
I haven't had an extra second in the day for blogging these past two weeks so I apologize for all these blogs at once! Getting ready for this trip alone has been an adventure and the journey has just begun. So here's the story of my life these past few days... Enjoy! :)
9 Jan 2013- Packing!
So packing for Bangladesh alone was an adventure. I brought little clothes and lots of food. :)
My mom has been my little angel and wing-woman preparing for this trip. We had a blast shopping and having fashion shows! Oh just wait until you see these fancy clothes! Lol
We also went to REI and she got me a SteriPen which is the most vital thing in my bag. It's a UV light which sterilizes the water in 90 seconds. My lifesaver! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Everyone I've talked to said "plan on getting sick" at some point. Yay!
How do I plan for that?!? :( I brought my malaria pills, some other meds, and got all my shots including rabies. Yea, crazy! I should be immune to everything now! Lol However, we shouldn't eat anything raw or washed in the water and not boiled (ie lettuce - thanks for rubbing it in Lauren). :) This is going to be so hard for me: 1. I LOVE food! 2. I love trying new things and 3. I hate saying no to people. :( I'm so excited to learn first-hand the culture of Bangladesh so I'm bound to get sick from my sporadic willingness to try everything. :D
I also sprayed all my clothes with bug spray that lasts up to six weeks. Just trying to be proactive because I have the weirdest, most random things happen to me when I travel. :-/
My boyfriends mom made me the sweetest 'Survival Kit' basket for Christmas. She's so creative and thoughtful...Thank you, Sharon! I brought everything in it including the picture of Mike when he was four. :) Yep, my sweets is coming with me! Xoxo
