We touched down in Tanzania just a few minutes ago, and are now in buses headed to the hotel.

It's 10 p.m. here, eight hours ahead of the East Coast.

One of the first questions that came to mind once I got off the plane was, "Should I be wearing bug repellent already for the mosquitos?" Don't want any malaria.
