29th December 2008 - 5 days to go

All systems are go. Passport in order, ticket purchased, vaccinations completed, dollars packed.
A few final preparations required; start packing, buy a few items that are not in wardrobe and make final arrangements for the ferry from Dar Es Salaam to Zanzibar and book hotel in Stone Town for first night.
Sally has kindly provided, care of Santa, books on Tanzania and Zanzibar and a Swahili phrase book. Hope I don't have to rely on them too much.
One point of note today was the instructions on the malaria tablets that said avoid direct sunlight which seemed a bit strange considering I am going to the equatorial part of Africa and thought the nurse who wrote the prescription would have thought of that. However am subsequently advised that this only effects a few unlucky souls so fingers crossed should be OK.
