Back on the road

---

After a long extended absence, I am finally getting back to what I enjoy doing the most. Fueled by motivation from my cousin Jeff, who has been trekking through South America since November and only recently arrived in South Africa two days ago, I have decided to tag along with him through Africa. I leave tomorrow April 11th for Cape Town. There will be no itinerary. The plan is to eventually make it to Cairo at some point, probably within 6 months, and hopefully continue on East into Asia if money permits. Some of the places/events that I plan to hit are Victoria Falls in Zambia/Zimbabwe, the FIFA World Cup in Jo'burg, the animal migration in Serengeti, and the pyramids of Egypt. I will update this blog every once in a while with our progress. South Africa will be my 33rd country, and will hopefully be one of many on this trip. Thanks to all for the support. Peace out.

Sounds like a great trip! Glad to hear that you're still traveling. Random blast from the past -- Dan and I were flying from ORD-DEN to get some spring skiing in last Friday night and guess who our flight attendant was -- Alma! She's married and living in Colorado Springs.
