Count Down-5 days to go!

Well, this will probably be my last post from Denver, Colorado.  Next time I am on here, I will be in Dushanbe, Tajikistan.  So, you must be dying to know how I have been spending my last few days in Denver, the city by the bay!

I have been having dinners and drinks with EVERYONE I know. I think I might have gained at least 15lbs just in the last month from eating and drinking.  I might also be turning into a Mexican.  I don't know if that's possible, but since I love Mexican food, that's all I have been eating.   So if it's possible to turn into another race from eating their food, I will be a full Mexican by the end of the week. Ay, Caramba!

My immunizations and medications are completely taken care of! I can't get polio, typhoid, hep A or hep B, so if you have any of these diseases and want to hang out with me, let's do it! I am immune from you!

I had a great experience at kaiser yesterday. They were able to get all of my current prescriptions for the next year to take with me.  It was a bit of a pain, but I am just thankful that has been done.

So, if anyone is reading this and will be planning a trip overseas, I have some advice for you below:
#1 Sam's or Costco is your best friend.  You can get 150 pills of Imodium for 10 dollars! I never really thought that I needed 2 gallons of NyQuil before, but I think it will be quite useful in Tajikistan.
#2 Think about designating someone as your Power of Attorney for Banking.  This isn't something I thought about, but I guess its good to get someone you extremely trust (in my case it's my parents) to be my power of attorney so they can take care of anything that may happen with my bank while I am gone.
#3 Roll and Pack is the best method in packing clothes.
#4  Don't put all of your clothes in one suitcase, medicines in another. Mix and match in case a suitcase is lost.

Okay, this is all I can really think of.  If anyone has anymore suggestions on packing or anything I should bring, please leave a comment! I am not leaving until Tuesday!

 Gracias Mi Amigo! See you on the other side of the world!
