Good news!

Success

In a nutshell:

- heard yesterday, but officially today, that I am going on a sabbatical;
- Hasn't sunk in yet as real life is getting in the way a little too much right now, but I'll be jumping for joy soon;
- The next step is to plan when I am thinking of leaving, probably March or May.

Haven't got a clue what to do next; how do you go about getting a visa? Are there different types?

Diseases

Loads of yucky, yucky infections, parasites and other nasty things could be waiting for me when I get there. I guess I am going to have to get tap a vein and get some innoculations!

Animals

Apes, chimps and gorillas: hairy, long arms, tea parties - you know the drill. Uganda plays host to the endangered mountain gorilla, which is a must see as there are not that many left in the wild.

Anyway - there's going to be loads of stuff to come into this blog! Keep watching the skies!
