So the decision has been made, we’re going to Africa – the long way down!
It’s been a long time coming and the whole trip may of been put off until Jeanne got the good news about her kidneys. I know, probably more than anyone, that you’ve got to watch out for those kidneys! So without impediment we are full steam ahead, albeit a week or two behind the original schedule. And all of the original preparation and research was not in vain.
I even attended French lessons !! Which were a bit of fun I might add. Alors, mon Français n’est pas trop mal !
So, over the next few weeks alot must be done in preparation for our mammoth journey.
1. Hand in notice with my job – yahoo!!!! what a relief.
2. Move out of the apartment in Step-A-Side – will be sad to leave as it’s a cool apartment.
3. Get travel medication and insurance sorted.
4. Get one way flights sorted to Malaga – starting point.
5. Confirm the route with Jeanne – Pretty much done but needs finalisation – kinda…plans change.
It doesn’t seem like alot but there are alot of minor tasks in between that I’m sure will cause hassle and delays.
The route will be in the next post…

hey head! Blog is great, I’m looking forward to reading about your progressthrough Africa. Will you be able to post Photo’s?
Hey Thec,
Yeah !!! that’s the whole idea. I plan on keeping a virtual journal as we travel down through Africa. And this seemed like the best way about it.
I can add pics, comments & new pages etc.
I will also have a satellite tracker with a Google Maps up-link. So, when I ping a satellite, an email will go out with co-ordinates ( to contacts of my choice ) and a link to it on Google Maps so you can zoom in etc…..Very geeky but Very cool….
I will also post links to the Google Map points on a page on this blog: here
