I am starting my very first blog for my India trip! Let me catch everyone up on all the preparation I have done for this trip. First, I had to get caught up on all my immunizations…that was a fun Tuesday afternoon. I got shots for polio, typhoid, hep B, hep A, tetanus, and the flu. The “travel doctor” that I saw then proceeded scared me with the thought of catching malaria and having consistent diarrhea while on my trip. In order to prevent malaria I have a prescription for Malarone, which will kill all parasites in my stomach and have to wear super strong insect replant every time I am outside. Supposedly the Malarone will make me have weird dreams so that should lead to some interesting blog posts! I also have a prescription strength anti-diarrhea meds and sleeping pills. My second big prep item was the most expensive trip to Target ever! I spent $175 on toiletries, cliff bars, oatmeal, and every over the counter medicine I could buy. My Target purchases had to go into their own suitcase. I am thinking that by the end of the 6 weeks I will have plenty of room to bring home souvenirs!
