So today I finally called the travel clinic. Things have changed and we don't need to make an extra trip into the doctor, we scheduled and had a telephone appointment today! All we need to have is a typhoid vaccination for this trip. It isn't really needed for Israel but it is for Egypt so we will get that along with our annual flu vaccine and some meds for traveler's diarrhea. We always carry that - only needed it once, but when you need it, you need it! The Travel Nurse is sending us the full update and instructions and we have an appointment to get the vaccines on Monday. She cautioned us about rabies, of all things! I did read something about that in the travel information already. Anyway, there will be NO petting cute little dogs we might happen upon. Being with a group tour I don't think it will be likely anyway. Mosquitoes are another caution and to use insect repellent in the evening hours. We are re-reading the travel information now and feeling excited!!!
