Guatemala - Part IV

Yesterday I got my last immunization/vaccination shot (typhoid this time).  My arm is still a little sore and stiff.  Also have a prescription for malaria...well, anti-malaria.  The pharmacy didn't have enough to fill it, so I will have to pick it up next week.  The shot gave me a red blotch on my arm, but otherwise, no side-effects, which is good.  The nurse lady gave me all sorts of informational sheets and a luggage tag for my trouble yesterday.  I have to submit to my own insurance claim as they were out of network (figures).  Not sure insurance covers things like this.

I have not heard back from the agency rep in Guatemala since my last message.  This does not help with my nerves.  Doesn't she know this?!  I am praying she responds soon.  I don't think anything hotel-wise has been determined since we don't even know what day(s) I will be visiting with my sponsored child and his family.

I have started making a pile of things I need to take and have made a few purchases to make sure I am ready since I will only have a couple days between Colorado next week and leaving for this adventure.  I think I am as prepared as I can be for any physical...um...difficulties.  I will have to do laundry next weekend to start packing clothes.

I am somewhat sad that Samson will have to be away from home basically a whole month or longer.  Mom is right.  We practically have shared custody these days.
