Lets gets blogging started!!!

Wow the 8 weeks since I was accepted for my post at Yei Hospital has flown by and I cant quite believe that as of thursday I will be calling South Sudan my home! eeekkk!! So reckon it is about time I get into the blogging habit..

So hows my planning coming along I hear you ask... well:-

I am proud of my de-cluttering work over the past few weeks as I have managed to successfully move all my worldly possessions out of London in a borrowed mini (thank you dad) and am now counting down to D day in the ever welcoming and supportive R&G hotel (cheers guys)!

I have been jabbed with, and swallowed almost every vaccination known to man, and I'm also now enjoying my weekly antimalarial routine for the next two years of mefloquine mondays. So if I'm a little bit stranger than usual on monday and tuesdays from now on, don't worry, its my new baseline!

The kindle is primed and ready for action with nursing manuals, policies, travel and the occasional chick flick book downloaded and I couldn't go without my bear gryllis/ray mears style SAS survival manual, just in case!

Went on yet another visa run to the embassy today and  it appears third time is a charm, as I now have a South Sudan Visa, whoooo hoooo!! And at least I know all the people working in the embassy now!

I am still in the process of packing and unpacking, there are so many tough decisions to make....well how many shampoo bars does one girl really need for two years???

So best get back to it as will be checked in at Heathrow sipping champagne with my ladies from Wau in 48  hours!
