Tingle of excitement

Woo hoo - just felt that little tingle of excitement about traveling - things are coming together! Just got email from the travel agent to submit with the Ghana visa application, and copied yellow fever vaccination proof, and got second Hepatitis vaccination shot this morning. Woo hoo!

I love it when a plan comes together. (I'm not saying the A-Team was my favorite television show when I was a child ... but I'm not saying it wasn't, either. Fool.)

The nurse who was seeing me for the hep vacc was stressed out - she was stuck in traffic and late and then the computer wouldn't work right for us to get info about Japanese encephalitic B vaccination (still not sure if I should do it ...) so a very nice doctor helped us out, and he was so interested in my travels, and printed things out for me. The nurse thought I was crazy to want to go, because of disease danger, but I pointed out she's much more likely to die on the roads driving in from the mountains each day than I am to die of Japanese encephalitis B or cholera or anything else I'm unvaccinated against. Why live in fear?

OK, back to work - enough excitement for today. Time to buckle down and map faculty, and sneak in time to finish up my papers.
