1 Week to Go

One week left before heading to Indonesia. It seems like a dream. I have treated my clothing with permethrin to help ward off the mosquitoes - American mosquitoes love me - I'm hoping that those Indonesia mosquitoes don't find me as tasty! I soaked my clothing in this permethrin for 2 hours and then laid them out on the deck to dry for another 3 hours. Very interesting. I start the anti-malaria pills on Saturday. This definitely is not a cruise - I'll be leaving my formal gowns and swimsuit at home - instead I have a pair of boots and 7 shirts all exactly alike. I think it will be easy to figure out what to wear each day. I looked at the humidity in Indonesia - around 85%. Georgia is about 55% humidity right now. So yes there are more humid places than the South. I'm thinking adventure. Ready or not it's almost time to go.
