Travel plans...

I have called the local pharmacy and ordered a larger prescription of Tricor for my trip.

I have, for the most part, decided what clothing I'll be taking...I travel light.

I have my cameras ready with extra memory cards. I am taking both Canons (Rebel and SureShot)

I am compiling my email and phone list and will laminate that.

I have my Global SIM card for my cell phone, which oddly enough, does not work around here. No cell phones do...

What I need to do is Xerox both my passports, and have the copy place shrink down some material for my photo-essay project.

I will only be spending a short amount of time in Greece, for a couple of reasons. The first is cost. Although Greece is a relatively inexpensive place, it can get a bit pricey for lodging in the larger towns and cities, especially as summer approaches. The second is that my work will deal primarily with the last fifteen years after the Yugoslavian Civil War so my material is in Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia, and Serbia. I don't know if I will get to Serbia, but I'll try, if only for a couple of days.

I'm not going there to ghoulishly take pictures of death and destruction, but rather rebuilding and growth.

It's also really cheap to have a great time.

So, just a few assignments to finish up and then off I go next Thursday. I'll post a few before then.

I really like the focus of your Yugoslavian Civil War paper. An aunt of mine was teaching English there when it happened and had to come home quickly. Good luck with your project! I'm sure it will be fascinating.
