I'm going to be broke broke broke
The cost, thus far, of just applying to go abroad:
Ecuadorian Visa: $130
Mandatory, overnight, 2-way shipping of said visa: $40
Typhoid vaccine: $62
HIV test (they're afraid I'm gonna pull a Freddie Mercury): $15 co-pay
Hepatitis C shot: $70
Flu shot: $5
Request for police record: $25
And soon to be added:
Anti-malarial pills: Somewhere around $50
Yellow Fever shot: Somewhere between $100-$200
So a total of about $550.
Being more culturally-aware: Priceless
No, but really, I want a g.d. nice "Panama" hat and some job opportunities after this.
