My fortune
We had Chinese food today at lunch and guess what my fortune read?
"A bold and dashing adventure is in your future within the year."
Pretty prophetic, huh? Beats the fortune I received once that said "Oops....wrong Cookie." =)

No trip to Africa is complete without vaccinations! Those that are recommended are yellow fever, hepatitis a & b and typhoid. In addition, malaria prophylaxis is STRONGLY recommended.
This photo is a self-portrait of my band aids after receiving the above vaccinations: L-R: Hep A, typhoid and yellow fever. I was sore for a few days - but nothing that would kill me!
The Beginning
Hello everyone and welcome to our blog! This blog is devoted to our trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar in September 2007. The parties involved are: Me (Bonne), my mom Karen, my friend Brian and our friend Ben. We (Bonne & Karen) live in Ohio and Brian and Ben live in Florida. We are using 2Afrika (as seen in Budget Travel) as our company and we have been assisted by Lisa at Travel Escapes as our liaison and sounding board! This is a birthday gift to ourselves - my 35th, Mom's 60th and Brian and Ben's EARLY birthdays as well. Enjoy our updates - we will have much more later!
