JasonWoodley - Jason and Woodley

Jason and Woodley After a combined 17yrs at the same company we decided to hang it up for a year and see the world. We packed up our stuff and drove from Arizona to New York where we flew to Australia...that's where the journey begins. Please feel free to add your comments, insights, mocks (towards Jason only!) and advice.

To Be Continued... Europe » Greece » Crete » Paleohora
Athens
Athens
The Acropolis and Zeus
Over the last 9 months we have learned that you really can’t plan more than a couple of days ahead. We left the continent of Africa after an absolutely amazing time. Our tentative plan was to start in Greece and make our way up through Eastern Europe, visiting some friends along the way. We made it to Greece and settled in easily to the beach lifestyle on Crete. We spent 3 weeks hanging out in tiny beach towns and mountain villages. This is where the unexpected came. Along the way we always thought there could be problems, unexpected events, budgets blown [View Full Entry]

It means “give me a tip” in Arabic weather I deserve one or not. Everyone asks for one, some people definitely deserve it, others maybe not, but regardless of the backsheesh requests Arab hospitality is one of the best. We have been trying to describe our trip in Egypt but we ended up sounding like an advertising agency because we were both so impressed. Currently, no travel agency is paying us to write for them so we are just putting pictures up. PS - At this point in our trip we would like to ask if there is anyone willing to [View Full Entry]

Wildebeasts gathering...Is it time to go yet?
We went to Tanzania to see some of the big sights like... Lake Victoria - Jason ate fish from the lake and we visited a fishing village full of children. Interesting fact: while sitting at dinner eating local lake fish someone was reading their guide book which noted the high concentration of pollution in the lake. We are still waiting to see if there are any effects. The Serengeti - The wildebeests were gathering! Each year millions of wildebeests and their friends, the the zebra, gather around the Mara river before heading to the Serengeti for greener pastures. The big event [View Full Entry]

If you read any newspaper, travel warning, or guide book about Kenya you will find out very quickly that your chances of being robbed, extorted, caught in a political conflict or between warring gangs are very high. We found out everything we needed to know about Kenya from Andrew O. We had the pleasure of meeting Andrew on our flight to Nairobi. He plays for the Kenya National Football team and grew up in the city. We don’t have a picture but he had his cornrows weaved with the Kenya National Flag colors and was wearing a white “camo” jumpsuit, plenty [View Full Entry]

Cape Town and Around We originally arrived on the African Continent on May 14th in Cape Town. Most of our African adventures originated out of Cape Town where we spent a lot of time relaxing and organizing our trips. We also spent a few days on separate occasions in Johannesburg creating a scouting report for the 2010 World Cup. We (more specifically Jason) focused on trying to get hoteliers and drivers to commit to locking in a price for our next adventure here but were unsuccessful. Everyone is very excited for the big event (not always for the right reasons) although [View Full Entry]

We didn’t think it was possible but New Zealand has fallen from number 1 to number 2. Zambia is our new favorite. Before we arrived in Zambia were in Zimbabwe where we ended our tour. We were there just long enough to see how Mugabe’s rule has affected the economy and people. For example, when we arrived we were told not to exchange any money at the Zimbabwe banks. The exchange rate at the bank was 250 Zim dollars to 1 US dollar. But on the black market the exchange rate was 70,000 Zim dollars to 1 US dollar which changed [View Full Entry]

How much weight does this thing hold?
We entered Botswana and prepared to head to one of its most famous wildlife reserves in the Okavango Delta. To get to our campsite we took a local mode of transportation - the mokoro. The mokoro is a hallowed out tree trunk in the shape of a canoe that is propelled by a local Botswanan Poler. The 3 hour ride to our campsite was a lot of fun although we thought we were going to sink or tip over several times. Finding a camp site in the delta was easy, when the guide sees a good place to camp you stop. [View Full Entry]

First of all, we are not dead, no one has been to prison, and we have not been eaten by any animals or caught between warring tribes. We have been traveling over land through Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia and have not been able to find a decent internet connection for quite awhile. To catch up, after our exhausting trip in India we traveled to Cape Town. We settled in for a couple of weeks and tried to figure out what was the best way to see Southern Africa. After exploring all kinds of different options we decided it would be [View Full Entry]

The tourist slogan for India is “Incredible India” and let me tell you that it lives up to its name. Everything is incredible; you truly can not believe what you are seeing: *Taj Mahal *Beautiful People of Jaipur *Mumbai and the Bollywood crowd *Humayun’s Tomb *Qutub Minar *Red Fort *The craziness in Old Delhi *Train travel *Auto-Rickshawing (many good debates took place before the actual ride) *Monkeys, Cows, Oxen, Elephants, Goats, Camels and Pigs *Colorful Sarees *Muslims, Sikhs, and Hindus *Naked people *Ghats *Dazed and Confused [View Full Entry]

A trip to China is not complete without seeing the giant panda. We traveled to Chengdu to visit the Panda Research Center and to take a road trip near the Tibetan boarder. We met a couple at the guesthouse we were staying in that had already arranged a 5 day jeep tour in the area we wanted to go and they asked us if we wanted to join in. It was 5 days of amazing scenery and pure entertainment. We had a driver that did not speak even one word of English. The only instruction he was given was to take [View Full Entry]
