It was awesome and I can highly recommend it.

You hit the spot! I lazed all my days away on the beaches of Paje and Nungwi, meeting Rasta Zanzibarians who made us seafood caught from the sea that same day. How I miss those simple days by the sea.. Thanks for letting me live the dream again. Zanzibar’s one of my faaaavourite places on Earth, Keith! You hit the spot!

Unfortunately, you do need malaria shots for parts of Kenya and Tanzania. I took malaria pills and they worked fine (no side effects to write home about!). I was rather concerned at first because I've heard so many horror stories about side effects from malaria shots/pills but these were great. I'll find out the name of those pills and let you know.

Zanzibar is the height of exotic destinations, and you have made it look so alluring. If only it weren't so FAR away from Arizona. What a lovely post.
