One of my big tasks was assembling my first aid kit. It’s annoying that some stuff only seems to be available in a first aid kit – like antiseptic wipes. I used a shiny black smashbox makeup bag for my kit. It looks hot.

On the topic of health, at my mother’s insistence I got tetanus and hepatitus A shots. The doctor also asked me if I wanted Typhoid vaccine and Anti-Malarial precription and to check the CDC. Turns out I do.  The doc prescribed me Malarone with insurance it was $150 for 24 pills. The typhoid vaccinne, which is 4 pills you take every other day, was $60 without insurance. I’m glad I’ve got some HSA/HRA action this year. I wonder if my anti-malarial is going to give me hallucinations!

Now I am thinking of packing. The problem is that I needed to do laundry first and our dryer broke on saturday.  We got a new one last night, so today I will be laundering and packing.

The big thing I have left to do is get/take passport photos for visas.

On a related note, a Bangkok Air flight skidded and crashed on the runway at the Koh Samui airport. Guess what airline I’m taking to Samui in a couple of weeks? At least our plane isn’t a prop jet.

I was almost 10hrs late for my flight. Thanks to Greg for pointing this out.

Now I probably would have noticed this when I sent my mom my flight info..but at least now I know I have to pack friday night.
