| A collection of jab stamps |

Preparations would most likely be centered on destinations, route planning, budgeting, weather planning, gear, etc. Apart from the customary Yellow Fever vaccination (else you would be barred from entering the country), many travellers do not discuss the topic of vaccinations.
Health is an essential part of travel too. This cannot be sidestepped. "What?! This vaccine costs USD $180 (SGD $250) per person!" or "I don't think my luck has run out. Nah! I rather save the cash for other expenses." These remarks are all too commonly heard. You are right that these jabs are costly. Because they simply are. We already spent about USD $2k (SGD $2.7k) for 2 persons so far. However, we think that the money spent on these vaccinations is essential.
Our good buddy, Charlie Tseng, emphasized the importance of vaccinations and to leave ample time for all the shots. Start your jabs at least a year before departure.
Very cool!! Trip planning coming along nicely....just came across you guys today via Wandering Wasp. All the very best!
