Tuesday December 14th.
As you know, I am embarking on an African journey of epic proportions. Eight countries, 54 days and who knows how many kilometres!? I hope to see a vast and varied amount of wildlife and to witness lots of different aspects of the various African cultures, as well as explore the landforms and forests of the continent.
I have no idea how often I will have access to wi-fi or the internet. I'm sure it will be sporatic at best, so I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all of you, my immediate family, friends, Lescon family, and fellow travellers, the very best of the season, and a very Happy New Years. I have not actually done the calculations to figure out where I will be on either of those days, but I do know it will be very different from my normal celebrations!
I provided the web link to the trip's intinerary for those of you who are interested in following along. Please continue to write to me, even if you don't hear from me for a bit, as I love to get your notes, news and thoughts. I will continue to write the blog in wordprocessing form and post it as soon as opportunity provides.
So whatever you do over the holidays, I hope it's a happy and safe time. Enjoy!! I will miss you all.
Enjoy the next phase of this afventure. Can't wait to see your pics. They have been so realistic. You have a good eye.
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays.

ReplyDeletemorning. Who is going to give out the Christmas gifts??? Who is going
to extend the opening of gifts hours longer than necessary?? Who is going
to give Dad chocolate gingers? And what about Christmas dinner??
And what about BOXING DAY????? I hope the lions and giraffes and the lucky friends on the trip realize how lucky they are to be spending time
during this wonderful season with our Joe! Miss you already.

Hey Joe,
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you liked Cape Town so much. I must admit, it looks pretty spectacular. But I'm sure the safari you are about to embark upon is going to blow your mind!
It is very Christmassy here, blizzards and minus 10 to 15 the last few days, those sunny pictures of yours help!
Anyways, have a great great time, I will email and watch this site, be safe and have a
VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Have an amazing one-of-a-kind Christmas and New Year, Joe! Looking forward to hearing about it when you send out your blog posts!

There will be many people wandering around on Boxing Day night , not knowing what to do with themselves
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Joe ---where ever you may be
and have a safe and Happy New Year ( how could you not?)
Make sure the hyenas don't try to bury your shoes in the Kalahari.

I remember sitting at a table outside that shopping centre, which has a beautiful view of Table Mountain and Lion's Head. I'm glad you were able to visit there several times. Glad you thoroughly enjoyed Cape Town...truly one of the most beautiful places to visit. Have fun on your African tour/safari!!!
