2 weeks to go!

WOW!  I finally have stuff to update!

We completed our visas -- this required a 102$ check, a letter from MUHAS explaining what we're doing there, and 2 passport size photos.  We created a fed ex account, shelled out some $ for tracking our passports since they had to go to D.C. and come back.  Moreover, they required us to send pre-paid envelopes along with our visa request submission. 

**The Good news is, the passport is back with a cool new page that has my passport photo and visa that allows me to enter Tanzania!** WOOT.

Next, 4 files were created on google drive:

1.  File with last minute details to arrange and things to pack
2.  Excel file with contact info in tanz/US, itinerary, and an I.O.U. page to keep track of expenditures
3.  File with basic swahili terms printed out
4.  a ''survival binder'' w notes on what to do if a disaster strikes.

The nice thing about google drive is that it allows us to share information with multiple people and allows many to edit it.  I shall try to upload screen shots of our files over the next two blogs (minus the personal info, of course)

T-12 days. AHHH! scary.
