Packing…

I am getting REALLY EXCITED about my 7 day mission and trying to get all my stuff together for it. I just got the packing list and one of the items just made me laugh, so I thought I would share: Swimsuit (shower situation “unclear” - it might be some sort of trough that you stand in and pour water over your head)<-- haha, oh boy!!! Some of the other fun items on the list include: Baby wipes (in case there are no showers), Small denomination currency (we’re not going to the casino <-- their words not mine), Doxy and DEET (NOT a suggestion, but a necessity). The rumor flying around right now is that we are staying at an old UN peacekeeping site that is apparently some kind of large open base. This is going to be amazing! We will be flying into the central part of Cambodia and working in 2 small villages. My excitement has only been building since I found out that I would get to go on this mission. Only 3 pharmacy members were chosen to go: my preceptor Earl, a Navy tech, and me. Once Renee left I got even MORE excited, since the day she gets back is the day that I go! I am sure she will have some great experiences to share and so will I when I get back.
