Muriel's turn

Now that Joanne has taken us through the anxiety phase of our trip (are we going? will it be safe? which shoes should I take) I will add a few cents worth. When we started planning this adventure it all seemed so far off and we had all the time in the world to prepare. Well, here we are, one week from departure and still preparing. I am going to Victoria a few days early so that Jo and I can pack and repack, and probably rerepack. We will have a hard time paring our clothes and accessories down but we will be very firm with each other. It is so thrilling to be going on this once in lifetime holiday! After all these years of Discovery Channel and african nature shows, we will finally see those lions and elephants and all the other neat stuff. Neat stuff is the scientific word for flora, fauna, geography, culture, food and colour. We will take tons of pictures and hope that we will be able to find a computer now and then to post some of them. Stay tuned, we will be posting whenever we can.
