Ok, I am going to give this a go. What I want to do is make this my travel blog so that each and everyone of you who follow my travels will be able to do so on your own time and if you are not interested.....then just shut it down or never come to this site at all.

So. I am not sure if everybody knows this or not but my next adventure is off to Africa. Yup! I am finally going. Those of you who know me really well will know just how excited I am.

I am off on Oct 12.........I will go via AA to San Juan, JFK, Brussels, Nairobi. Ya, hind site.....I should have taken the KLM flights and gone from here to Amsterdam to Nairobi but I thought it would be nice to get off the plane to stretch, use a real bathroom and eat food. Well with the events happening in London has sure put a mess into that now hasn't it. Oh well. On the way back I go Nairobi, London, JFK, San Juan - over night there- then home.

My friend Bob will be staying here for a month and then my buddy Joe and his family will stay for the last two weeks. I hope that they have the best dives ever.

In preperation for this trip I finally broke down and bought a digital camera. I will be practising with it soon. Well, I have taken a few shots up in Washington park but I need to take way more. I am also trying to take better care of my back. I was at the Chiropractor today. He rest me and now I am resting and learning how to move differently. I know.......this is seriously close to my departure time, 0nly two more months, and I should be hiking up Seru Largo and I will again as soon as the Dr. gives me the big OK.
