Getting ready to go

I've finished my last week of work until December and am looking at preparing for our trip.  Looking back on the past week I think it is at least worth noting that I work in a very interesting place. Where else can I take care of an immigrant from Ecuador with cholangitis, an 89 year old Hmong woman with swine flu, a "skin popper" cellulitis, and a nice lady from the suburbs with complicated pancreatitis all in a row.  Still, I'm glad to be done for a while.  Now it's time to pack and make some plan for what we'll be doing for the next 5 and a half weeks (for Christie only 3).  As Christie will be along I might not post as much as I did last year, but as a team effort we'll try to keep this up-to-date.  For your information below is our flight itinerary for the trip out. Also, at the bottom of the blog is a clock showing the current time in Cameroon (GMT +1).
