Initial Afghan program(me)

I've been given my preliminary program (not 'programme' - I will soon be working for a US NGO again) for my first month in Afghanistan. I arrive in Kabul on September 2nd and then...

September 4/5: Herat
September 8/9: Mazar
September 12/13/14: Bamiyan (I've been before - it's lovely)
September 18/19: Jalalabad

I've been promised it will be very exciting and I have no doubts at all.
