Barcelona We Are Here!

March 7 - My first travel day started by me heading to Los Angeles for work. Which ended up being comical because of all the bags I had with me (backpack, bum bag, travel duffel, duffel with all my work stuff in it). I got to LA earlier than I needed to, but I figured... Continue Reading →

Big Daddy Adventures

August 28, 2024 This trip is going to be tough to pick my favorite or most unique experience - because today was hella crazy and something I never thought I'd be doing.  We got up at "o'dark thirty" (breakfast was at 6am) because the park opens at 715am and we want to be in line...

A rhino and joke

August 24, 2024 Today we headed out at 730. The group ended up splitting up, seven of us in an open 4x4 and the other nine were staying in the bus. I went on the 4x4, because today is an all day game drive through Etosha Park. After yesterday's half day game drive in the... Continue Reading →

Etosha National Park

August 23, 2024 Today we had about a six hour drive to Etosha National Park. It was pretty uneventful - just a couple stops for food and potty. When we got to Etosha we found our campsite, Noel gave us a tour of the grounds and then we had just an hour to explore before... Continue Reading →

A foot (or few) on Angola

August 22, 2024 Today we got up, but it was very hard because it was SO COLD! The tents we were in had blankets and not sleeping bags, but one can only get so warm.  We had our breakfast and hit the road. Today we should be getting to camp a little after lunch.  We... Continue Reading →

So many birds…..

August 21, 2024 Today we got to "sleep in" a bit. Breakfast was at 7am. We had a big day of a boat ride out to an area where we would get in a makaro (canoe) and be taken through narrow channels in the delta. From there we will go to an island to walk... Continue Reading →

On to the next country!

August 15, 2024 I landed in Victoria Falls and had to dig for my US dollars because they wouldn't take card for the visa. Thankfully I had $60 left still from the cash I brought from home. I got a double visa so I can go to Zambia for the day and see their side... Continue Reading →

Two Castles, neither on a hill

October 6, 2022 Today Lauren finally made it! Wooohoo!! However, it meant I had to leave the beautiful Airbnb at the farm at 630 am. It was such a lovely evening, I slept VERY well and was refreshed when I woke up. The rain had begun, it wasn't horrible, but enough that driving on the... Continue Reading →
