Kills Bugs Dead

Fedex delivered my clothing spray, electrical adapters and insect repellent. Mike said he's forever in my Deet for buying his as well...

Not sure how long it takes to get the Malaria pills from CVS, but I don't want ot leave it to the last minute as I am wont to do.

Martha asked to prepare a few songs for us to sing after dinners, in group, etc. - songs of a spiritual nature. Will post some ideas this week for comment. Toto's Rains Down in Africa comes to mind, as does The Lion Sleeps Tonight...

Less than 2 months to go

Last night we met to turn our passports over to Martha. She will send them to DC to the Embassy to get our travel visas.

Date to remember - the Service at St. Andrew's on November 2nd will give us a special blessing before our trip.

Time to go and buy some industrial strength bug repellent, safari clothes, a good hat and good hiking shoes I can run in - as long as I can outrun Mike, I'm not afraid of jungle animals
