Jeff and I went shopping today! REI, Costco, Sports Authority, Best Buy. I think we are getting really close to being set. Got hiking pants, rainboots, mosquito nets, money belt, deet, sunscreen, iodine tabs (just in case), binoculars, magic jack, webcam, mini tripod, bigger SD card. We almost got hats at REI, but they were fleece-lined. Apparently the Seattle REI has ones without fleece that will be much better for HOT TZ.
Jeff is going to see if he can clean out my old laptop and make it functional to leave in TZ with Aunt Nancy. When we're there we are supposed to go to the Zantel store straight away and buy a portable receiver and a month's worth of internet service. Then we should be well-connected for our stay. I just hope we can make it to Zantel sooner than later after arriving!
We still have really no idea how exactly we'll be spending our first two weeks there, but somehow it will be spending time with Aunt Nancy and helping where able. We are ready to be flexible!
Then the last week - the "vacation" portion - is still up in the air as well. Safaris, we've found out, are EXTREMELY expensive. But apparently while we're there it may be possible to book a last-minute trip at a reasonable rate. I'm really hopeful; especially since it will be low-tourist/rainy season.
FIVE WEEKS TO GO
