Twinrix

Wow - I'm not so good with keeping up with this site eh?! Only 2 more days till we leave for Vietnam. This weekend has been full of last minute activities - including vaccinations for the trip. I discovered that the travel clinic is an "appointment only" facility and had to succumb to the chaotic waiting rooms of the walk-in clinics. I had decided not to get all the vacinations recommended from the travel prep website. After 5 hours my parents and I managed to get inoculated against Hepatitis A and B with Twinrix. Word of advice - get your shots 2 weeks in advance and save yourself the hassles of waiting for a doctor or running into pharmacies that don't have the drugs on hand.

On Saturday, March 11th, I went to Motown Meltdown at the Commodore Ballroom. It was a mix of local blues/oldies bands. I really enjoyed it as it was the first time that I actually knew the songs that were being played. :-) I've posted a picture from the show in my picture gallery.

On Sunday, March 12, mom and I went to Ikea to try out their $1 breakfast special. It was pretty good food for a buck. The store was super busy though - which is not surprising as Ikea is such a family oriented place. I LOVE Ikea accessories - they are so much fun.

Kim Anh got a camera for her birthday from Michael. It's a Pentax Optio S6. This is great as we'll be able to take TONS of pictures while on vacation. Even more pictures to add to my picture site. All we need now are accessories for our cameras. Hopefully there will be cheap stuff in Vietnam. I'm looking forward to buying some electronic toys while there. :-) Life wouldn't be as fun without the latest and greatest gadgets!
