Gone on Safari

We'll be dark for a couple weeks as we're headed to deepest, darkest Africa. We'll be spending most of the time in Bunda visiting my parents and brother who all live there, and have lived there for years without a single visit from me. *blush* It's about time. We're flying into Kilamanjaro and staying with a good friend of my Dad's, an exiled black panther named Pete O'Neal, about whom a documentary film was made (A Panther in Africa).

Then we'll be in a safari jeep (truck?) up to the Nogorongo Crater where Brenda and I will celebrate our first aniversary at a lodge there. Then we continue on up through the Serengeti the rest of the way to my parent's place in Bunda. I'm really excited to see them again, and to see first-hand what sort of life they have now. I really have no idea what to expect. Their internet connection is really slow and infrequent so it's hard to send digital pictures to me so I haven't seen much. They have occasionally sent awesome african stuff back though. One day at work I found a package from them that turned out to contain a real live Masai warrior spear. This one:

This is definitely the first trip I've ever taken in which I really have no idea what to expect. Brenda's done crazy adventure trips before but not for a while so she's excited too. Should be fun no matter what.

So, when do you plan on fixing that map so that you show Tanzania?

Gimme a break dude. I was too focused on trying to make it look like the indiana jones map thingy than on precision cartography. :P
