Field Trip!

So, seeing as I have no way to teleport you guys here and give you a hands on tour of my life -- although, that would be incredibly awesome...do you think God is down with granting superpowers?? -- we're going to play a game.

The basic premise of this game is that you are going to pack your imaginary suitcase and get on an imaginary plane headed to Nairobi. I'll be at the airport there to pick you up, and we'll travel together from there, until we get to here. Ready?

Today, your job is to pack your suitcase. (Seeing as this is your imagination, we're going to pretend that you already have a passport and the travel nurse has already gotten her hands on you. :P)Step One: Throw out that antimalarial prescription slip from the travel nurse. You can get them WAY cheaper here. Pharmaceutical companies in the States just like your money.

Step Two: Ditch the water filter, super intense bug spray, and anything else that makes you feel like you're going on a jungle trek. I can almost promise that they won't do anything but take up space in your bag.


Step Three: Dig out the t-shirts and flip-flops/sandals. Girls, time to pull out the ankle length skirts. Hate to break it to you, but, your knee caps are hot. You're gonna have to keep them hidden. Guys, if your knee caps are visible when you're standing up, find longer shorts. The girls aren't the only ones with...umm...attractive...knees.

Step Four: Throw in some stuff to keep you entertained on the plane and enough pesa (money) for your visa.

You, are officially ready for your trip to Kenya.

Hold on tight to your plane tickets.

Drink plenty of water on the flight.

Don't get lost between terminals of the London-Heathrow airport.

I'll see you tomorrow when you land in Nairobi.
