This week's progress

I've made some progress in my preparations.
1. I spoke to the travel nurse at Kaiser. She sent 2 prescriptions to the pharmacy: one for mefloquine (anti malarial) and one for an antibiotic for traveler's diarrhea. She also gave me an appointment for a TDaP shot. And I got a flu shot on Monday.
2. I went to the optometrist and got contacts. I think I will need them for the white water rafting.
3. I went shopping today with Wendy. I bought insect repellant, a sleep mask, a flashlight and a sleeping bag liner. I also looked at rolling duffel bags. I've chosen the one I want. I just wanted to take time to think about it a little. I'll go back to REI to get it.
4. I've contacted my friend Jami in Delhi. We will discuss when to see each other. I have NOT started working on what to pack.

India Itinerary

Here's the itinerary.  The trip starts on February 22 and ends March 9.

Posting on iPhone

Finally figured how to post on the blog from my phone. I needed to download the Blogger app. Now I need to find about using this phone in India.
I'm starting to feel like I'm making progress toward getting ready for my trip to India. I dropped off my visa application on Thursday. They will email me when it is ready. I have an appointment to talk to the travel nurse on Thursday morning and one at the optometrist Thur afternoon (need contacts for whitewater rafting).
I haven't told anyone that I've started blogging again so I'm just posting for myself-to keep track of trip preparations.

Getting ready for India

I feel like I worked all day on things to get ready for the trip and accomplished nothing. I did find my old visa photos from last year, so I don't need to get new photos taken. I called the travel clinic to make an appointment. They said they will check my records and tell me tomorrow whether I need any additional shots.
