Ok, What Am I Forgetting?

We are now current on all travel vaccinations. We completed the remaining injections today and I'm having to type this blog post using only my right hand. Jason and I didn't need the Hepatitis A/B injections again, but we were popped with a Typhoid vaccine and Tetanus & Pertussis vaccine. I'm still having trouble lifting my left arm. Ouch!

Our travel meds have been called in and our OTC meds have been purchased. I've been busy sorting and washing Sarah Martin's clothes (size: 12 months) and I'll begin packing tomorrow. What am I forgetting? Just a few more days and I can sit back, relax and enjoy this wild ride.
