So now that the flight itinerary is finished, its time to take to figure out the next course of duty and go from there.
In no particular order, I need to get shots for the countries I plan on visiting, find an apartment in BsAs, get a credit card, start to look into things to do in BsAs (and elsewhere), and figure out how much gear I'll need.
On that note, I finished the 4 hour workweek, and the end of one chapter was particularly helpful in that it listed a bunch of links for those who are ready to travel. I'm basically copying it out of the book, although my summary's will be a bit shorter.
http://outside.away.com/index.html A list of articles on places to go travel
http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/index.jspa Lonely Planet forum, separated by region
http://wwwn.cdc.gov/travel/default.aspx Center for Disease Control. Find out what kinds of shots I need, etc
http://www.perpetualtravel.com/rtw/ FAQ for the traveler, with some great advice.
http://www.xe.com/ Simple, straightforward currency exchange rates
http://www.conair.com/travel-accessories-c-55.html Tim Ferriss strongly recommends this power converter. Its very compact, light and supposedly does a great job.
http://www.kropla.com/ List of information on types of electrical outlets supplied worldwide
I'm gonna spend the rest of today trying to figure out what types of shots I will need, where to get them, and then start looking into credit cards. It'd be really (extremely) helpful if I could get a credit card with a high limit, but I've never had one before, so I think my only option is to get my dad to co-sign one with me.
