Pre-Trip T-2 Days

So today I start my Malaria drugs. The history of treatment medication for Malaria is very interesting. The side effects of the medication were sometimes worse than the disease itself! However, for those with a weakened immune system or very young or elderly, the disease is deadly. Lucky for me, today’s medications have far fewer side effects. I basically have to start taking the pills now and will stop 7 days after I leave the “danger zone” which for my trip is Bangalore, the first city I visit.

Speaking of where I’m going, I created a little map to show where I’m going. Unfortunately, I’m only spending time at the Frankfurt airport, and not getting to go around town. I would have liked to spend some time in Germany. Maybe next time, if there is one.

More details tomorrow!

Pre-Trip T-3 Days

For those of you who don’t know, I’ll be heading to India on Friday for 17 days (4 in transit!). I plan to post frequently about the trip here on Harrowed Halls (for my friends without Facebook) but I’ll cross post the link for my FB friends and family too.

My preparation to go on this trip thus far has been:

  • Vaccinations (Flu, Hepatitus A and B, Polio, Tuburculosis, Diptheria, and Tetanus)
  • Anti-biotics (Malaria and Food Born)
  • Mosquito Repellent
  • Motion Sickness Treatments

I’ll post details about my travel on Friday since I’ll have 8 hours of layovers to figure out what to say! Hopefully I don’t have to pay for Wi-Fi at the airports (although I probably will have to).

Feel free to post comments on Facebook, only those with an account can post here on Harrowed Halls. I’m looking forward to sharing my trip with you all!
