I am going to South Africa! Well, I don’t leave until March 1, 2010. But that’s OK, I’m going to be dreaming about this for the next 9 months.

I’ve dreamed of being a world traveler all by adult life. Then life happened: marriage, kids, divorce, college, pets, and a job that I love.

Carson at Crater Lake NP, Oregon
I was very sad to lose my Carson dog travel companion of 12 years last winter. And I knew I wouldn’t get another pet for a while so I could follow my travel dream.

Book it!

My itinerary
Why not visit a fellow blogger, Joan from SAPhotography who loves the outdoors as much as I, and is a natural tour guide. After we travel together in northern SA I’ll take off on the BazBus working my way slowly down the coast to Cape Town. I can stay at hostels or maybe some CouchSurfing.Note that I’ll have an 11 hour layover in Frankfurt (FRA). Anybody out there want to show me around town?I’m positive you’ll be reading more about this adventure. Right now, I need to let everybody I know, know.

yeah for you! I am really excited just knowing that you are going. Can't wait for it to happen and see the blogs and pics!
I am envious! I was born in Pretoria and went to school in Durban. I would love to go back and see the country I left as a child.
How extremely exciting and wonderful for you! Wow, wow, and WOW! Can't hardly wait to read THOSE blog entries!
I am so excited for you! It will seem like March will NEVER get here soon enough for you. I'm looking forward to reading your blog entries on that trip.
I hope I can do the same one day, too.
Oooh, I'm envious. I've been to Europe several times, to Asia 4 times, to South America, but never ever to Africa… One day I'll make it, but until then you can be my guide.
Good for you! Congratulations on making a life long dream come true…that's just beautiful! Bet you'll get some phenomenal photos from that trip :o)
