Jeps,just one more week and I´m off to Africa,Ghana.
My first vacation on my own. Well, not really,I´m going with a friend who is married to a man from Ghana, and her daughter - but anyhow, for the first time none of my boy´s with me.
The boy´s don´t like it very much,I had to promise not to become Florence Nightingale (I do that,always trying to save the world,stupid,I know) not to have sex ( no,but thats not on my to do list -and not at all in a continent full of AIDS) never to go out without my friends,be carefull with what I eat and drink and the list goes on and on,It´s like I´m the child and they the parent-its sweet in a way but also a bit irritating. Well, at least now they know what it feels like for me when they are out there in the big wide world-I tell myself they can take care of themselves but I´m also not happy until the have returned home safely.
Mike went on the Camino 2 years ago-walking through Spain on his own-I didn´t like that at all.The youngest is planning to go and visit our family in New Zealand and Australia-good for him but I´ll be happy when he is safe back home .
My friend loves it there...I don´t know what to expect.I lived in Kenya for 5 years but thats long ago and it was at the east coast,Ghana is west Africa....
Did any of you ever go there and can tell me a bit about what to expect and some do´s and dont´s?
I´ve had all kinds of vaccinations, I have an extra health insurance,sunbolck and good shoes.... is there more I need?
