Preparing for travel

Hi all

     Went to get my shots today…all 4 of them. OUCH!  I also have to take anti-Malaria pills starting tomorrow.  I want to recommend an awesome place.  Passport Health in Roslyn, New York.  They are located at 153 Main Street.  Ask for Linda Kirkland, RN.  They made me feel extremely welcome and comfortable as soon as I arrived.  I was asked to sit in the waiting room and complete my health information.  All of this was done totally on line using a lap top.  Once that was completed, I viewed a video that lasted 10 minutes and told me everything that I needed to know about traveling abroad.  I was able to purchase kits that contained anti-diarrheals, insect repellents, antibiotics and sun block.  I got Melatonin to combat jet lag.  When I went in to see Linda, she spent time advising me about traveling as well as what foods to eat, and what to avoid.  I learned a mantra about fruit…Wash it,peel it, other wise forget it.  Also, drink only bottled water, use no ice and don’t eat the salads.  I walked out with a portfolio imprinted with my name anddestination printed on it, as well as the official Yellow Fever Immunization record that may need to be shown to Customs.  While all of this was not cheap…Over $750.00, I highly recommend Passport Health.  I defintely recommend that you ask for Linda.  She is great at giving immunizations and she is a wealth of knowledge about traveling.  I will never travel to any foreign lands without consulting with them first.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       My arms are a little sore now, so I’ll close.  The next time you hear from me, I’ll be on my way!!!
