Welcome to the first of hopefully many blogs I will write on my trip to India. Today, I am packing to go. I leave tomorrow afternoon. I think I have packed everything I will need: passport, travel alarm, enough clothes to minimize laundry duties and most importantly anti-malaria pills and a few courses of cipro in case I get a little "tummy ache."
Interestingly, there has been much debate about which anti-malarial pills to use as prophylaxis. Being on a tight budget I opted for the less expensive Doxycycline. Some of my traveling partners have spent more money and are using more effective prophylaxis. Stay tuned to see if I save money or get sick.
Once I am in India and settled in, I will write more about what I will be doing there and why I decided to apply for this international elective. For now all you need to know is that I will be working at the Christian Medical College in Vellore, India. Hope you enjoy my blogs. Tomorrow I fly...
