And we’re off…

June 3, 2013

Waking up was tough this morning! I was so exhausted from the long journey, lack of sleep and not being sure what time zone I was on. Had I even slept at all, I wondered? Our driver Peter had arrived in the lobby downstairs and we were ready to begin our African Safari. We all kind of chose our seats in the vehicle and these would remain our “set places” throughout our journey. Richard, an avid photographer had brought his old camera for me to use on this journey. Last night he gave me a quick lesson on the different modes that would probably work best for taking photos on this trip. I’ve always felt like I had a good eye for photos even though I am very much an amateur. I was excited to chronicle our trip in both photos and as a travel type journal. I love to write and the idea of doing a travel type blog really excited me. At the time I didn’t know that the Internet would be such a problem at all the remote locations we stayed at. I wasn’t able to share the experience with my readers as I was actually living it. But to be honest I was too damn tired at the end of each day to even take pen to paper.

 

The cast of characters on my travel adventure are:

Peter our driver

 

 

Beverly and Barb (sisters)

 

 

Richard and Dusty (married)

 

 

 

My mother-in-law Betty (behind the wheel)

 

Me
And all the animals…

    Lovin’ your blog, it’s like being on Safari all over again, but without the dreaded tsetse flies. My legs are still swollen and I’ve got the biggest welts that I have ever seen. I wouldn’t know if I have contracted sleeping sickness or not because I am still exhausted. This going back to work the day after we got back was not the best idea that I have ever had.
    Thanks for posting some of the great pictures.
