Nick and Bec's Big Trip Starting on the 29th of June 2008 Bec and I will be starting a year long adventure, spending 6 months in Africa and another 6 months in South America. It should be lots of fun.

I am a human pin cushion

AUSTRALIA | Monday, 2 June 2008 | Views [304] | Comments [1]

This Thursday is my last jab and then I am all set to tackle nearly every disease known to man.  This week it is Hepatitis A&B, the last of 3 three jabs.  I know, 3 jabs doesn't qualify me for a human pin cushion, but wait there's more.  I have had jabs for, slight pause whilst I draw breath, polio, tetanus, cholera, typhoid, yellow fever, Q fever (a lesser known typing disease of the left middle finger), rabies, measles, mumps, and rubella.

There are probably more, but the brain cells are not as sharp as they used to be.

Oh, nearly forgot, we pick up our suitcase load of malaria tablets on Thursday too.  Enough for 20 odd weeks, at a rate of 1 a day it adds up to 140 pills.

Not even started and you're moaning already. Whats it gonna be like when you hit Mombassa and its 4 million degrees and there's one bus out of town per month and you just missed it because you couldn't run fast enough because of all the needle bruises on your bottom?

At least you'll be able to write about it, unless the Q Fever jab wears off...

Go Nick go!
