Tana Airport Be prepared to wait for long periods of time at check-in, especially if it's an International flight. Check-in is less than efficient and as a consequence, my flight to Paris was delayed by two hours. In a word, Chaos!

Tips on Eating (and not getting sick!) in Madagascar We had a Malagasy tour guide that absolutely forbade us to ever drink juice in hotels (except for super-high end hotels, which are pretty scarce in Madagascar)...he claims that behind-the-scenes in the kitchen, the restaurant staff typically mix packaged juice with TAP water (yeeeesh!) Which if true, will definitely make you really ill! Ditto for milk products (milk in a creamer, yogurt in a bowl, ice cream) served in hotels -- avoid drinking or eating these. The exception to this is anything you by PACKAGED, at for example, a little supermarket, or at the Jovenna Gas Stations (which have a mini-mart in them). Any packaged food (juice, milk, yogurt, ice cream) is fine, and can be consumed with impunity.
