Welcome to our blog! We're off to Africa in a few days and we wanted to be able to let everyone know that we're not dead (knock on wood), how we're doing and what we're up to. This could be a super-fantastic, highly entertaining and informative blog, or it could be the most over-hyped atrocity ever to impose itself on the internet. Katie's sister Carolyn and her husband Joel's blog on their trip to Europe has been so fantastic, we thought we'd try doing the same thing. However, the chances of us replicating their success may be slim. Internet access in Africa is somewhat limited, so you may get an update from us in New York, Johannesburg, Victoria Falls, and then in Johannesburg again. The wild card is that cell phone coverage in Africa is fantastic. On my journey to Kenya, we were on Facebook in the middle of the Savannah. We're toying with getting a cell phone when we get there, but that remains an unknown.
Anyway, that's all to say that we hope to keep you all updated on our adventures, but if we don't, it's not because we hate you or because we're having too much fun to care (okay, it could possibly be the latter), but it's most likely because the internet has failed us.
We leave on Tuesday at the ridiculous hour of 5:55 AM. A huge thanks in advance to the lovely Rick Johnson for agreeing to take us to the airport at something like 0 AM (at least that's what it will probably feel like). We'll be in New York until July 2nd, when we'll embark on our 14.5 hour flight to Johannesburg. For those of you who prefer, that's about 9.6 movies.
We're looking forward to sharing our adventure with you! (maybe.)
