    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?

    No advice from this side, never been there. But I do wish you a safe and pleasant trip!

    And I think it's smart to travel with a local. Enjoy your stay!

    This is always good news, to be able to go to a foreign country and not have to worry about locating the Kingdumb Hell or finding out when their meetings and service are. And you get to enjoy it, without regard to what stupid and ridiculous directive the Faithless and Indiscreet Tyrant class have come up with last week.
