' leaving on a jet plane, don't know when ill be back again....'
Okay, so not quite! I did finally purchase my expensive ticket to Samoa, leaving Los Angeles on Tuesday March 27. I can't believe I only have two more weeks here in Illinois. I feel like there is still lots to do and people to see!
I did some packing today, and pulled out my backpack that I am taking on the trip. I plan on being in Iowa for ten days before I leave and its getting tight trying to fit everyone in.
I still have a few immunizations to get: Typhoid, Tetanus and Hepatitis A & B.
Did you know that Samoa is technically the last place on earth to see the sun set?? Cool!
Another fun fact: medical services are free for residents of Apia, the nearby town to the base (and quite a low fee for visitors) unless you opt for the more upscale private hospital and even then the fees don't come close to the Americans... maybe we could learn something ....
