down to the wire

Passport...
check.

Malarone...
check.

Yellow fever vaccine...
ouch!
check.

I finally got my official approvals this morning, so in exactly three days I will be on a plane to Newark...and then to Brussels...and then to Entebbe. Then after that, to Arua for 8 days. I'm told that they do have internet cafes there.

Here's a map of Uganda. http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/cia05/uganda_sm05.gif . You'll see the big star with Kampala written next to it. That's where I will mostly be. But if you look in the NW corner, you'll see Arua, where I should be for the first week or so, if everything goes according to plan, which it rarely does.

Keep your fingers crossed that I am on a plane in a few days. Already the plan has changed about five times this morning.
