There are still a couple of things that I will have to do before I can depart.
The first thing on my list would be to get my vaccinations done. There are a couple that I have to get like Yellowfever, Hepatitis A+B, Typhoid, Tetanus, Polio, Meningitis, Diphtheria and Rabies. Some of these vaccinations require 2 injetions 6 months apart so I will have to get them as soon as possible.
Training, that is the second thing on my list. I recon that the fitness will come as soon as I start the trip, but it will still be easier and far more enjoyable if I am already fit before leaving. I really do not want to feel tired and worn out on the first part of my trip. I have decided that I will be going on a couple of weekend trips to see if all the equipment works for me and to see if there might be some other stuff that I still need to take along. It will be a easier to purchase additional equipment prior to the trip. I will keep you posted on all the minor trips that I will be taking.
Still have to fine Travel insurance for the trip. All types of things can go wrong on such a trip and travelling without insurance would be a very bad Idea. There are a couple of firms that offer insurance that caters for world travellers and I will have to find the best coverage for a decent price.
I know that there are still a number of challenges that I will have to sort out before I can leave, but I am looking forward to it all.
