The day has finally arrived.......my tickets are booked!

I leave November 20th and return (early this year) January 9th, 2015.

"The outbreak in the country (DRC), where the Ebola virus was first discovered nearly 40 years ago, is a distinct strain from the far more drastic Ebola crisis ravaging West Africa, where more than 2,200 people have died this year, the worst on record.
