So, finally i can sit down and post a real post.

If you are planning ton Travel anywhere really, go to the CDC website and find out what you need before going to that country. I did my research and found out in addition to regular immunizations,  my boys and i got the Yellow fever and Typhoid shots and as recommended we took them more than 2 weeks before our trip. This are usually given at the local health department.  Rabies was another recommended one, however this one the health department in my area did not have it, plus am not too worried as the chioldren will be playing where we can see them, and yeah hopefully no dog bites.

We are also on Anti-malarial drugs. Julian and Eli are taking the once a week 1/4 of a pill started 2 weeks prior to travel and the entire time they will be in Tanzania, then for 4 weeks when they get back to US.  The Dr prescribed doxyciline for me,  which is a form of tetracycline, this i  will need to take 2x daily beginning 2 days prior to travel.  The good thing is this helps with acne, so i may not have to worry about breaking pout for a while :)

I  am hoping that the children stay healthy when we are there, especially Julian and his asthma. We are keeping up his flovent, and  will definitely make sure we pack  his inhalers  for the trip.  I am still packing up and everyday, i am remembering something that we would  need, and am hoping Julian will have plenty of distraction  to keep us both sane that day. :)
