Things seem to be falling into place for this to happen. Took my first of 24 Malaria pills this afternoon. Malarone (250mg of atovaquone and 100 mg of proguanil hydrochloride) and if I am to feel any affects it will be later on this weekend, but too late for changing drugs! In Viet Nam, we took a malaria pill (much smaller than the one I popped today) and it gave me a slight fever and the runs (unheard of in the tropics right?) for 24 hours. But considering the alternative, I will opt for a bit of discomfort. Last minute shopping tomorrow, still looking for one or two more items to give the villagers. Dru says he will bring some swimmer googles for the kids, and I am still thinking gloves for the "men". We shall see. Tried the Polaroid film this morning and it worked fine. At 80cents each it better. The battery is built into each film pack. Bringing 3 packs, only have 29 shots left. Patricia is still worried about the connection, but Lynda has gotten a personal guarantee that we will make our connecting flight in Nadi, Fiji. Dru starts his adventure Sunday afternoon flying from Corpus to Houston, change planes, and then to LAX. Todd and I leave PHX to LAX about 6:30pm. Then the longer than expected wait. 10.5 hours to Nadi, the flight to Honari, Guadalcanal is 4 hours with one stop. Lots going on to make this happen.

Looks like it's going to happen!
