12 Days to Go!

So my first post has me getting ready for the big trip. Pretty much all sorted with packing, etc. I am sure I will forget something. I did remember to pack plenty of beef jerky, though. Not sure how much access to power I will have, so lots of battery backup. Spare BlackBerry battery, Power Monkey to recharge the iPod, etc.

Since my previous travels covered most of the "preventative maintenance" needed for Haiti (i.e., shots, etc.), I was only left with anti-malaria pills. Started them this past weekend. One per week for six weeks. Two weeks before, four weeks after. Lots of DEET spray too!

I was interviewed last week for a piece in the Inside Nova newspaper. Supposed to be available online as well (www.insidenova.com). Should be in print shortly before I leave. I will be the handsome guy (the only guy) in the pics. Thanks for looking, and more to follow........
