Welcome

Welcome to my blog for friends and family about my 45th Birthday Trip to Africa. I wanted to provide a space for anyone who was interested in the trip to follow as I plan and take this trip of a lifetime. I will occasionally be blogging before departure and will do so daily while I'm on the trip. Hope you enjoy!

One Week to Go!

Well, the title's not exactly correct....

Sunday August 26th marked one week before the departure flight to South Africa.

How would you prepare for the departure on a trip of the magnitude I've planned?  If you're a "normal" person, you might be finalizing checklists, washing clothes, gathering guidebooks and information, etc.

However, I'm not (and friends and family will confirm) "normal" when travel is involved.  I spent the weekend before my departure with a good friend traveling around the Black Hills and Badlands.  750 miles were put on the rental car while visiting three states (giving me a total of 49 out of 50).

South Dakota and Wyoming were beautiful in their own ways.  Can't say that much for the northwest corner of Nebraska though.

I've included some photos from the trip to tantalize your tastebuds with the type of photos I take while traveling.
