It's also recommended that you have polio at some point and that if you're
going to some parts of brazil, that you have malaria too. I'm finding out if
we will be in that sort of area.

1.1. Vaccinations

Yellow fever, diphtheria, typhoid and hepatitis A were recommended by my GP, and tetanus is apparently also a good idea if you haven't had a booster recently.

It's also recommended that you have polio at some point and that if you're going to some parts of brazil, that you have malaria too. I'm finding out if we will be in that sort of area.

1.2. Insurance

Don't leave home without it. Medical bills can be very high if you're abroad. Swapping policy details might be a good plan before we go in case of emergency, but not on the wiki for privacy reasons please!

Tesco will sell you a fortnight of insurance for £40 covering most everything you would be worried about.

[http://www.norwich-union-direct.co.uk/ Norwich Union] seem to charge about £31.
