This has been Summer’s favorite vaccine so far, due to the fact that she has 2 main fears; a fear of needles and a fear of snakes. If needles come up in conversation or they are shown on TV, she starts turning white as a ghost. While I have not tested my theory, for obvious … [Read more…]
While I am not the type to worry about things in life, I also like to be prepared just in case. Travel insurance for medical, assets, rental cars, and trip cancelations or delays is very cheap in regards to the protection it gives. I have taken a look at these 4 categories to see if … [Read more…]
While talking to the Pharmacist tonight we learned a new piece of vital information. There are multiple types or vaccines, live being one of them. Live vaccines contain a weakened version of the virus. You can receive multiple live vaccines at one time, but if you do not get them within a 24 hour period of the … [Read more…]
While Summer and I plan on using public transit and taxi services on our trip, I did not want to limit our ability to rent a car. On a trip to Europe when I was 20, I learned that there was a treaty signed in 1949 by the US and other foreign countries that allows … [Read more…]
So while Summer was doing research for where to get the Yellow Fever vaccine, since the Walgreens that we went to for TDaP was not certified to administer it, she found that Costco had it.

They had 3 on the list (TDaP, MMR, & Hepatitis A), could order 1 more (Rabies), needed a prescription for 2 (Malaria & Typhoid), and are not certified to administer 1 (Yellow … [Read more…]
It has been 5 weeks since my last post. I had a doctor’s appointment today to check on my progress in treating the latent viruses and the rheumatoid arthritis protocol. The good news is that I am feeling much better. I think we are finally getting to the root of my issues and I am starting … [Read more…]
Summer had an appointment with our Doctor today, and the good news is that he gave us the all clear to leave this October. We came home from her appointment and I immediately booked our non-refundable one-way flights from Portland, Oregon to Lima, Peru. I ended up finding the airfare for $378.13 per person including 2 … [Read more…]
So I have been looking around for airfare hoping that we will be able to leave in the October time frame. Most everything I have been looking at is north of $650 per person for a one-way ticket from Portland, Oregon to Lima, Peru. That is with the exception of the flights that I have … [Read more…]
We just realized that Summer’s passport expires mid next year. That may not seem like a problem since we will be back before it expires, but it is. Most countries require your passport to be good for a minimum of 6 months after the date in which you plan on entering their country even if … [Read more…]
