64 Days

Well, I leave in 64 days and I can hardly wait.  I still have a lot more things to buy before I leave but I have a lot of the major things done (or at least scheduled).

I got a bit of good news, my titer test for hepatitis A & B showed I still had immunity so that saves being poked at least 3 more times and about $300 in shots.  So as far as shots are concerned, I just have my rabies series.  The rabies series is a set of 3 shots where you get your initial shot, your booster is a week later and the last shot is a month later. Many people say the shot stings and are very sore afterwards so I am NOT looking forward to this at all.  My first shot is scheduled this Monday (June 25^th).  

One of my classmates posted this list of items to buy, thought I might share it with everyone.  I have most things purchased but still need to pick up a few odds and ends
