London

We are in London! After a long, sleepless flight we arrived here yesterday morning. It's been pretty mellow, just trying to adust to the time difference, but it's getting easier. Yesterday, mom and I went out with Catherine (a friend of mom's) who was celebrating a birthday, and today we just went to the Institute of Commonwealth Studies and the bookstore. Like I said, mellow. But nice. I am sure the next few days will be filled with activities though, I have a huge list of places to go and things to do. Should be a good few days.

Pre-Departure.

So, I am finally taking off for round 2 of my travels this Saturday. It's hard to believe it is only 5 days away! London (England, not Ontario) is the first stop for about 2 weeks before heading to Kampala.

The idea of going to Kampala is becoming more exciting, even though it still does not feel very real. It's been nice talking to Kelsey, who is going to Malawi the same time I will be in Kampala. We've decided to meet in Kampala at the end of March and spend some time there, before Kelsey goes to Tanzania. After doing a little research, I think I might join her (I hear the beaches are fantastic)!

So, I have just been getting myself ready with all the typical pre-departure travel "stuff". Have all my immunizations and prescriptions—the nurse at the travel clinic told me I could probably go anywhere now with all the vaccinations I have. That's a nice little thought! Anyways, just have to do a few more logistical things before the departure, and of course... pack.
