Updates

I have updated my picture page with my pictures from my trip out to San Francisco with Tony and his uncle Mark.

I'm leaving for Africa in just a little over a week and am planning to keep everyone updated with this blog and with my picture site. Hopefully I'll update more often than Greg. : )

So onto Africa now...I feel ready. I guess that not really knowing what to expect has kept me from feeling nervous about going. People have made comments like "I'm not brave enough to do that" and have expected me to say that I'm nervous. Maybe it's because I'm still a bit naive about things. Who knows. My only fears come about when I think of trying to figure out everything at the airports; from switching planes, going through customs, getting my visa, and hopefully not losing my luggage.

God, I'm going to have to spend a whole day with just myself and my thoughts.

This is going to be difficult.

According to my itinerary, I've got about 22 hours worth of layovers and flying. Oh boy, how am I going to entertain myself for that long??
