Just call me a computer geek. Not really, but I did finally figure out how to get the music files from old laptop to new netbook. I always have to repeat the steps several times in a row to remember. One more thing done in preparing for travel to South Africa.

Tomorrow a friend is helping me sew together a money belt. She has the sewing machine and skills I just have ideas. I looked at the money belts available online, no luck in local stores go figure, but didn’t care for the choice of materials. Did find one silk bag yet even it had nylon webbing and plastic clips for the belt. No thanks makes me sweat and itch. Instead I bought a silk dress at a thrift for fabric and Velcro to keep the pockets shut. If it works well I may have to patent the idea to pay for the next trip.

My GoGirl arrived and all I can say so far is that it works in the shower, not too surprising. I’ll continue field testing and report soon.

I’m learning to post on Windows Live Writer instead of my old copy and paste method from Word. It’s really pretty nice and easy to insert pics or whatever wherever. Should keep me blogging while traveling, when I find WIFI.

12 days left.
