Back from holiday and in high gear!

We returned from Michigan today and enjoyed a very full and fantastic 3 week visit with family along with a relaxing time on our own in the northern area of the state. We left quite a pile of money at REI, another outdoor centre, and a few other shops in order to stock up on Uganda-appropriate clothing and supplies.

Our calendar is quite full for the next couple of weeks with all the things we need to finalize and sort out as well as visiting with friends and Danny's family before we leave. Our friends/future tenants are all set to move into our house. Danny also has motorcycle tests and a few more immunizations.

Some family members from both sides of the family have promised to visit us in Uganda and go on a safari.

Since returning home I've been hit with the realization that we're really going to do this. !!Although I find the image of my pre-departure to-do list more daunting than the images of washboards, pit toilets, malaria-carrying mozzies, and lack of other conveniences.

Countdown: 18 days to departure
