Twelve weeks to go!!!!!!!! Or put it another way 3 months or 84 days or 2000 hours etc etc etc. Time flies and I'm amazed at how quickly the departure date is now looming. My first post was back on 19th March 2006 and since then there have been over 150 more.
I'll be going down to London this weekend for the pre-trip meet up. So I'll get to meet for the first time some of the other participants. I'll also get to find out a bit more about what we'll all be doing. I've enjoyed all the training I've been doing so hopefully that will help to make the trip a little easier. Just need to get the rest of my kit put together and the necessary injections - yellow fever, tetnus, rabies and take some malaria tablets. Just in case you were wondering the rabies shots are in case I get bit by a bat!!!!
