The Pain of Immunizations

Last week, I had to go to the Savannah Health Department and receive several immunizations for my journey to Ecuador. I got one shot in my right arm and two shots in my left arm. The shot in my right arm was tetanus and the shots in my left arm were Typhoid and Hep A. All of the shots cost me a grand total of 114.00. If I would have gotten these shots in NYC, my bill would have been much higher. I am certainly glad that I waited to move to Savannah for the summer. However, I still have to get two more shots- Cholera and Yellow Fever. Yellow Fever will be important for travel throughout the Amazonian jungles. I have also ordered hiking boots and a backpack. I am so excited to move to Ecuador- the one month and 2 days that I have left in the States can hardly past fast enough!!!!!

Plus- one can only read so much Harry Potter before they start dreaming about goblin farming and flying on broomsticks.
