It is Saturday afternoon and we leave for our African adventure in just 5 1/2 days. We've made all of our reservations, printed our travel documents, made packing lists, shopped and now need to start the hard job - getting everything in a few small bags. When we arrive in Cape Town, the weather will be similar to Seattle, in the mid-60's, so we need warm clothes. But as we go further north and inland, it will be in the high 90's, so we need summer clothes. We have heard that you should put everything out that you want to pack and take half of it out. That is really really hard for me to do...
But we are excited for a trip of a lifetime to begin. We spend the first nine days touring beautiful Cape Town and the Winelands, staying in a small boutique hotel overlooking Table Mountain. After that, we'll head off on a three week photo Safari from Cape Town to Victoria Falls, traveling through Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Then we'll fly back down to South Africa for the final three weeks and spend some time in Johannesburg, travel to the east coast of South Africa, and end the trip renting a car and driving along the beautiful Garden Coast.
We will try to update with photos and tales of our adventures as we travel along.
