Before leaving Chicago today I stopped at the Savvy Traveler at 310 S. Michigan Avenue. It's a great shop, dedicated to all things travel, and it's closing its doors very soon after having lost its lease. Real Estate on Michigan Avenue is a rather hot commodity, and after 22 years the owners have decided to close the store. I'm seriously hoping someone will come along, buy the business, and relocate it. Or at least go the e-commerce route.
Anyway, most of their products are now 20% off, so I bought some gear for the study abroad trip I am organizing for NIU, slated for Summer 2008: A couple guidebooks, some travel underwear, compression bags, a mosquito net, etc. The Bradt guide to Malawi in particular looks like it's going to be particularly useful, offering many websites such as this.
RMC's Winter Quarter is just about over, and a week off from CTU begins Tuesday, so I'm looking forward to diving into the planning in order to prepare the first draft of the 6 week itinerary to Dr. M at the end of the month.
Any feedback from people who have traveled to Malawi or planned a study abroad trip would be most appreciated.
