The Plan

So, people have been wondering about what I'm going to be doing in Africa.  Here's the plan:

November 04:  Fly to Johannesburg via Atlanta on Delta Airlines (never flown Delta, have a feeling it's not going to be stellar, but it was that cheapest and got me into Joburg at the best time)
November 05:  Arrive in Joburg and go to a hostel for a couple of nights to acclimatize to the 40 degree temps and time difference
November 07:  Fly to Inhambane, Mozambique where I meet up with the people from African Impact and go to Tofo where I'll stay for the next four weeks swimming with whalesharks and scuba diving on the reef.
December 05- December 17:  Fly back to Johannesburg and start a two week overland trip with Intrepid Travel through Botswana (Elephant sands, Okavanga Delta), a couple of days in Vic Falls, then a few days in Kruger National Park and back to Joburg.
December 17-20:  Free time to explore Johannessburg
December 20:  Head home in time for Christmas.

That's the plan, now I only hope that everything works out that way.  I had a plan for Thailand too but then the airport got occupied! Touch wood...

Africa here we come!

Two weeks till take off.  I think I've got everything ready to go.  I've booked my flights, found the tours, gotten the shots, bought the travel insurance...the list seemed never ending.  Now all that's left to do is pack my bag and head to the airport, well, that is after I finish marking 22 final essays, pack up my apartment and move all my stuff into a storage unit.  It's going to be a busy couple of weeks. Good thing I'm going on vacation!
