Preparing for Africa -- Passports and Drugs

Our passports expired in May of 2006, so after three attempts to get the renewal forms filled out, we finally put it all together in late March or early April.  The passports finally came back the third week in July, nearly four months later.  We were worried, but now all we have to do is make photocopies as backups.

Today, we picked up our diarrhea and malaria medicines.  All our shots are current, except for one we take in December -- long after we return.  I guess I'll need to make a copy of that yellow immunizations record form as well.

Maybe in a week or so there'll be nothing to look forward to but the actual trip.  That'll be nice.
