Let me take a moment to ponder bug repellant. Generally speaking I try to avoid excess chemicals in my life. I prefer to buy fresh food over boxed or canned foods. I use all-natural make up and don't like to take medicine unless I have to. You get the picture. But when it comes to bug repellant, my "all natural" philosophy doesn't just fall by the wayside, I divorce it and sue it for all it's worth. I know that Deet is not nature's friend or a particularly wholesome ingredient to expose my skin to, but neither is malaria as far as I'm concerned. So I say, "bring on the 25% Deet cocktail. Mosquitos beware!"
Enough of that foolishness...
Our second set of flights, which get us from Nairobi to Mwanza, still need to be paid for, but we can pay for them in Nairobi if need be. Currently my biggest worry is getting the EarthBoxes to the other side of the world. I think they will be cumbersome to say the least. But fear not dear reader, I will surely triumph by means of sheer stubbornness and an almost innate ability to talk others into helping me. I talked you into reading this blog, didn't I? Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge. Say no more...
Educational trivia for the day:
The time difference between Chicago and Tanzania is 8 hours.
The time difference between Chicago and Nairobi is 8 hours.
The time difference between Chicago and London is 6 hours.
OK, all you soon to be first and second graders who are reading this blog, what is the time difference between London and Tanzania?
For all the adults reading this blog, your brain-teaser is "how will Megan spend her day long layover in London?" Imagine the possibilities.
Looking forward,
Megan
Oh, my dear girl! You make me laugh (as I bite my nails...) I am looking so forward to letting my adventurous spirit roam vicariously through you this trip. Be safe, have fun, and don't get bitten by some exotic insect!
