D Minus 45

Can't help but be excited these days. Confirmation of flights coming through in the next 24 hours, Harry on the ground in Tanzania preparing everything for the teams arriving over the next couple of months! Though this means time to get in gear and sort out Visa for Tanzania. Kenyan one is only going to be a transit so will be sorted out at point of entry (Nairobi airport) when we arrive. Rough plans in place for transport from Nairobi to Moshi, so it's all coming together nicely. Good feedback so far from the team indicating that they are on top of sorting out Travel Insurance, Vaccinations, Visa, Health Declarations. Time to get on and start sorting out the rest of the luggage, Vaccinations all sorted now, and the travel Pharmacy that I carry has been restocked with a few new items making an apperance such as 2 courses worth of general Anti-biotics!

Continued from my last post, the last of the camera stuff arrived this morning, so I have a fantastic filter to protect my new lens from everything Africa throws at it (I HOPE!!!) and a shiny new camera/daybag. I've been on the hunt for something like this for quite sometime now, since I tend to be over prepared when on the travels, I carry a lot of junk in my daypack so usually use a 35l bag. However now I've expanded my camera equipment I'm a bit more weary of having it all bump around the bottom of my bag getting damaged. So my new day pack has plenty of pockets for all my first aidy and admin stuff, but in the bottom is a intended camera compartement complete with padding and all the bells and whistles!
