FAQ about my Uganda trip (part 1)

So, only 5 weeks left before I leave for Uganda, Africa. The purpose - to provide missionary dentistry to people in the African bush.

How long is the flight?  Total time in the airplanes will be about 19 hours.

How long will you be gone?  2 weeks

Where is Uganda?! It is in Africa, on the eastern side (click here to see a map) Africa Map

Where in Uganda will you be going? We are flying into Entebbe which is near the capital city of Kampala. From there, we will be going away from the city into the bush areas.  Uganda Map

What will the weather be like? Entebbe is on the equator so I'm expecting it to be hot! Although, from what I've read, temperatures during Feb / March will be on average around 78 degrees but will have at least 80% humidity.  So it will be nice and sticky. Just what a curly haired girl wants to hear....

Stay tuned for more info.

Excitement Mounts!

I can't believe our trip is just around the corner! I have had 4 of my 6 required shots. 2 more to go!

The fundraising was a success! Thanks to generous donations from personal friends and professional colleagues, I was able to reach my goal by December 1st!

Now, I have to work on my supply list. I will be doing mainly extractions and incision and drainage of abcesses...without suction...should be interesting! So I'm going to be bringing a lot of gauze!!!

You know, as I type this, I realize how I really need to outline how amazingly this trip has come together. I see now that I have being prepared my whole life for this trip.

Stay tuned for more blogs as I go back in time to show you how I got to this place! It is something else!

Merry Christmas!
