Flight reservations received!

Well time for another update and something exciting too!

I had an email an hour or so back with my flight reservation details for The Gambia! :)

Slightly confusing in the email stated 40kg allowance, and the attached reservation stated 2 x 23kg allowance (both for checked luggage, it is 10kg for carry on). I called VSO to check and was told the email was the same to all volunteers, and it was actually 3 x 23kg for checked luggage!

Luckily the young lady from VSO checked and came back and confirmed it was 2 x 23kg.

I will be departing to distant shores from Heathrow at a ridiculous time in the morning (6.50am) which means leaving my parents house around midnight!

In other news I had my last Hepatitis jabs, my Meningitis jab, so only one more Rabies and my Yellow fever jabs to go... :)

Also in other other news, I went to an archaeological dig the other day and spent the day trowelling away... suprisingly fun, but not good for my knees, if I do it again will have to bring knee pads.
