Three days and counting

(The pharmacy)
All kili blogs seem to have a countdown and this one is no exception. I've purchased more medicine for this trip than I have for my entire life. Granted the meds are for four persons.

Good news is that it looks like Jeremiah has worked out the conflict he was having between work and this trek and he's got the go ahead. However, he plans on keeping a low profile over the next few days just in case some higher up changes his/her mind and decides Jeremiah is indispensible for the next few weeks.

Gear is in a pile now and unfortunately is a tad on the heavy side (40-45 lbs). This includes stuff that I will be wearing, carrying in my backpack, in a bag that the porters will carry, and some stuff that can be stowed in the hotel during the trek. Nevertheless, I'll need to do some refining.

I am 3 days into my first mefloquine pills and fortunately am not halllucinating or suffering any other ill side effects. Yet.
