Well, it’s just over three weeks until I head to Africa. I never really realised how much planning is involved, and time just creeps. I still have to get my money sorted out as well as all those annoying last minute things.

I always follow in my mother’s footsteps and take most of the Boots pharmacy with me. However, there are a few things to take into account. I always like to have a painkiller that kicks a punch when Paracetamol just doesn’t cut it, the weapon of choice being Paracetamol with Codeine. All very well, but I have to check whether Codeine is actually allowed into the country, it is an opiate after all. I am even more aware of this now. My friend had a close shave when she recently visited Dubai. OK, I’m off to investigate.
