Im going to South Africa
Next week.I must get a shot of hepatit A and B vaksine my friends doctor wife told me, so im seeing her for that tomorrow.
I don't even know what that is.
How about malaria?
Any reason to fear that in Johannesburg?
How about south africa in general?

Frank, thanks and i'll try think like that.
Guess im a healt-scaredo pt..
and me who was never afraid to die.
I know a girl, i norw friend of mine who once after finally having met a suitable man (following decades of wrong dudes) said:
"now i can die". Will never forget those words and the setting in which she said it. There is a lesson for us all there.
Yea, honnymoon in Puerto Rico sounds just right Frank!
Don't forget you gave out the offer now man, cos i might take you up on that!
Camera have 4MB ready. If thay 220V there i might even be able to charge the cam, or else i will have to build a small windmill.
Have a great trip and enjoy

Virgo, yes. Thanks for the encouragement.
Calli, thanks.
Tango, see u soon.
Hep A & B shots are preventive measures in certain countries. As to do with water borne mainly...I think....& food borne illmesses. Sometimes when water is a problem that's what the shots are for. And sometimes its how food is prepared. The shots help if you get infected with a bacteria that causes hep A & B.
If you want more info you can check out this website.....traveldoctor.info. hope that helps you out. I hope I got the hep info right.
I wanna meet tango and her family members first and foremost.
Then i wanna learn about the country from them and their everyday life. Look at the near surroundings first.
I'll let paul show me new york and all the sites there when i go to that place, there i'll find 'sights'.(he should know all the hottest joints
So not excactly sights Ter bet all the rest.
Thanks zweet, i'll take a look.
wish you a wounderful time enjoy

Adam, yea. I expect a diamond mine undiscovered close by that i can dig a few big half pound diamonds i'll bring over to you. I'll keep an eye up for t-shirts too but don't know if thay are as easy to find as the erea is known for the big diamonds but we'll see.
Walter, we'll sea. Deps on if she want to, i think i want it, its 1000km. I'd like to drive in her little 20y old car, but she wanna fly if we go at all.
Hay we'll cover that in 10h..(unless there is too many jumping antilopes on the road) Its chicken to fly then, right!?!
Also a hi to koko-carry, marilyn manson, polly and no-pita.
Morgen, better to have your vaccinations before going into foreign countries(hepa, malaria, typhoid, and some others). Better take them before you leave for precautionary measures. To boost yourself with the immunity you need when you are in foreign land. Good luck and have a safe trip to SA. Have fun. And be happy...
However malaria prevention is best done by the following method:- "you take anti malaria tablets, a few day's before & continue for duration of visit" Am non negiotable on this!
I don't want to see you in a morgue!!!
"All recommended primary chemoprophylaxis regimens involve taking a medicine before, during, and after travel to an area with malaria. Beginning the drug before travel allows the antimalarial agent to be in the blood before the traveler is exposed to malaria parasites."
I camp our frquently in the bush & follow this as a prevention mantra!
I won't be here in KSA forever, i am sure of that and thank you for reminding me...hhehehe. Ohh, the photos...okay, it won't happen again... Be safe in your trip...
-shay-
all inconveniences with travelling is just need, and when you sit at last in plane you will forget all soon
and the most of all, you are met and welcomed.
Safe journey and great time in SA!
45 min flight from JHB, will take you to the East coast:- beautiful Durban; good fishing & diving, if you're up to it!
1hr flight from JHB will get you to Cape Town - nice place to be over the festive season. 15 drive from Jhb airport will get you to my place...
Good luck and have a nice trip, Morgen. I'm looking forward to hear a good news from you and Tango {smile}
