3 More Weeks

In just three weeks, Mom and I will be boarding the plane at Dulles to fly to Johannesburg. I think it's time for me to refresh my memory on blogging and uploading photos so we can share as we go. Rather than e-mailing individuals, we'll just share this link and you can check up with us on your own schedule. It looks as though we'll have good internet access most days, so we'll try to blog frequently and upload photos. Here's a photo of Mother on our warmup trip to Skyland. She hiked up to the Stony Man Overlook. Makes me think she's ready for the rigors of this trip around South Africa!

This past weekend Worth and Ben and I went to visit Julia and Chad. We had a great German meal Saturday night, and a fun time bowling. Saturday morning we celebrated Julia and Chad's first Mother's and Father's day (since I won't see Chad before the real Father's Day.) Worth gave me a great digital camera which will be perfect for our upcoming trip.

After we left Julia and Chad Saturday afternoon, we dropped Ben off at the Indianapolis airport. He left early Sunday morning on his way to South Korea.

Well, back to the South Africa trip. Mom and I fly out of Dulles on Monday, June 4 in the late afternoon. We're on a non-stop flight to Johannesburg. We'll spend a couple of nights there, so that will be my first opportunity to add to this blog and share our first impressions of the country.

Talk to you then!
