so, tuesday, i found out that i'm definitely going to india and booked tickets. i leave weds. as in next weds.

i've been running around like a madwoman doing work-related stuff (network diagrams, starting to build configs to drop on equipment on the far side, etc) and non-work-related stuff (dealing with the computer issue (rebuilding a new host) and finishing up all the vaccinations and such that i need and getting my drugs and supplies for the trip). it's fun to be intensely busy, but it's ... well... busy.

Eek! Scary! But totally awesome. I hope they have someone to meet you at the airport there and take you around; my first (and so far only) trip to India would have been a bit intimidating without that. (But other people manage fine, so it's clearly not necessary...)

What shots and meds are you getting?

i'm travelling with a coworker who's been there before, and she's handling the logistics of car service and such.

i got polio booster, MMR booster, hep A vaccine, typhoid vaccine (that one was hard to find; i guess there's been a shortage post-tsunami). i have scrips for cipro (just in case, for gut bugs) and the antimalarial that starts with an M (starting tomorrow or monday, going thru a week after i get back).

i also have stocked up on deet, immodium, "irish suntan lotion" (spf 45 sunblock), and i may pick up some of that hand sanitizer stuff.
