The election is over! Time to go to Africa!!

I must say it is a big relief to have the election behind us. It was a lot of work and we still have a weak President. Ugh!

But now we can get on with the fun part of life...Exploring the World!

Last year (2011) we spent a little over a month in Costa Rica. The Wilson's wanted to go to Africa. But we agreed to do Costa Rica first and go Africa in 2012, but time got away from us and I really wanted to spend the year working for the the Conservative Movement got in the way so we moved Africa to early 2013.

We started our planning late - too late to do exactly what we wanted. The compromise was to take a Vantage Travel soon after the first of the 2013 year. As it turned many trips were already booked. The one we really wanted had a great pre-trip to Mt. Kilimdnjaro but it was full. The next available time didn't offer the pre-trip.

Marylin searched around and found another Vantage trip that started one day after the first trip ended. We decided to spend an extra day in Nairobi.

Marylin contacted our other traveling friends, Ron and Kathy, and they signed up too. I mentioned it to our friend, Emily, and she signed up for the first trip only. So there would be seven of us on the first trip and six on the second.

Where are we going?

Yup, it's Africa. Two back to back trips with Vantage Travel.
