Shots Day!

One month from tomorrow is the day we leave for Vietnam!  Summer always seems to fly by; more so with our big adventure looming.  What have we been up to since my last post?  Lots of busy work seeing to details:  getting bills set up to be paid electronically (and to receive them that way), reading blogs about Vietnam, making sure our mail is dealt with for 10 months, making sure our continuing education is set for when our licenses need to be renewed while we're gone, emailing past and present workers at the university where we will soon be located, figuring out and choosing global health insurance, registering for absentee ballots, cleaning up old emails and unsubscribing to the dozens and dozens of junk emails I don't sign up for (!), things like that!  Also living life and working on our "farm" near our new house:  the big garden and fruit trees and grapes planted this spring.

Today's big event was receiving our travel vaccinations!  They were done at the "Infectious Disease Clinic."  (ewww)  It actually wasn't a bad experience and my arm is only a little sore.  The typhoid is oral and so far, so good; the pill went down about 10 minutes ago.  I'm off to bed soon!  I had to try to add a picture so here it is, for a little visual interest (ha).  I won't admit to how many tries it took.  Since it did take more time than I thought (I'm still new at this blogging thing) I am signing off and not adding any more tonight.  Till the next interesting thing!

Feel free to comment any time on my posts so I know someone is reading them!  :)  Good night all.  Or in Vietnamese (without the accent marks my keyboard doesn't have):  Chuc ngu ngon!


Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and Typhoid.  We hope we don't
get Japanese Encephalitis...shots for that would be over
$500 and we shouldn't need them in the city.  If we travel
rurally our nurse-practitioner said we can probably get the
shot at our local clinic in Vietnam.
