Schophol

---

Today is the day we travel to Schiphol airport in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The small bit of packing stress remaining is the worry that we’ve forgotten something we’ll find we need. An African Safari is just a little different than a usual traveling trip in that I don’t expect we’ll find too many ‘convenience’ stores on the African plains.
I understand that this is a privileged consumerist philosophy, but we are accustomed to those luxuries in our everyday lives. If we’ve forgotten something, we’ll certainly get by without it, but we’ll miss it. Therein lies the stress.
It is what it is and what it is is an exciting adventure. I hope that the internet is readily available where we’re going so that I can keep you informed. If not, I apologize and will complete the trek information when we’re home. It isn’t the same as ‘live’ updates but it’s a vicarious alternative.
