Today I am officially beginning the process of getting everything together for my trip. I learned about the many vaccinations that I will need to be getting, none of which can be covered by my insurance:-(.
Also I was thrilled to find out about the change in my voyage itinerary; We will no longer just be visiting Salvadore, Brazil, but instead we will travel down the Amazon River and visit the city of Manaus, Brazil. It is located on the Amazon River and just a few miles from the Amazon Rain Forest. That will just be sick-nasty.
