For the past week I've been writing and scribing everything down from vaccinations I may need and how long before hand I need to take them to where the hell I want to go. So far, I want to go everywhere so I've started writing down on pages of a book I purchased on reasons why to go to a country. At this moment I have: South Africa, Egypt and Israel.

At this moment, I do know and am planning to start my trip in Cairo, Egypt where my friend Dash (whose more like family) from Cape Breton University (Sydney, Nova Scotia) and his wife Lena live.

Within the next few weeks, I am planning to get my childhood vaccines done again as well as TB and Rabies; however, I won't get others (like Yellow Fever) until it's closer to my trip.

I haven't officially set a date for my trip but my duration will be approximately 3-4 months which gives me lots of time to really see the world.

Your probably asking at this point: why Africa and the Middle East?...

Let's be frank, that's where (to me, someone whose studies philosophy and theology) is the most interesting. And yes, my dad is terrified that this is where I want to go.

Until the next update,

Elizabeth
