Greetings from a loopy Michaela in on our nation’s capital awaiting my South African Airway’s flight to Joburg.  I had the pleasure of beginning my malaria meds this morning prior to my arrival in Kenya on Easter Sunday (you must start two days prior to arriving in a malarious region, take for the duration of your visit and seven days after leaving).  So far no side effects other than a little spacy. 

A fun fact for you, while Kenya’s Masai Warriors may not accept my Aetna health insurance card in an emergency, I was happy to learn that should a crisis present itself, the Warriors would be able to call the the toll free number to have me med-vaced to Joburg, South Africa.  I sincerely hope I don’t have the opportunity to use this service, but worth knowing what your card offers you by way of travel insurance.  Call before you go!

Thank you everybody for your calls and yes MOM, I will call you before I take off.  Happy Easter or Pesach everybody!
