The Making of an Excellent African Adventure – Part 1
The point is not lost on me that I have barely made mention of our vacation for 2007 while I at the same time am posting the first “making of” article on an Excellent Adventure for 2008. In reality, it seems to be turning out that the planning process for both of these trips is overlapping a bit more than usual.
I’ve been rather coy about providing details of what we’ve been planning for either one of the vacations for the next two years but I did mention previously that our vacation in 2008 may well be one of our most ambitious trips yet. As you might have guessed by now by the above picture, Barb and I are planning an Excellent African Adventure for 2008.
Under normal circumstances, we don’t usually try to have so much overlap between vacation planning but as it so happened we had the opportunity to attend a seminar today being put on by a local travel agency on the subject of African vacations. While we learned a little bit about some of the options that are available for such a trip, we know that we still have lots of research needing to be done to decide upon an endless variety of questions that we need to figure out on our own.
Admittedly, we still have lots of time to figure all of this out and for the near future, we’ll be spending most of our attention focusing on more immediate questions – such as planning our next year’s trip.
As usual, I’ll be posting regular updates as we go through the planning stages of both of these adventures.

Wow, Africa is a brave move at this point. I have some friends who lived in Africa for long time, who once described to me differences among African countries related to what colonial powers ruled. They basically said that these differences reflected in the administration, culture, supply of food, etc can be huge. Yeah, this trip would demand a good planning. Cheers.
