So i'm going to Botswana and Namibia this October

I'm also going to Zimbabwe and South Africa, but i've been there before so it's not as exciting

You know those overland truck companies? The ones who take a truck, but some seats and storage and drive the length and breadth of Africa/South America/Asia? Yeah i'm doing one of those. Of course ideally i'd like to buy a landrover and drive myself but this is by far the easist and cheapest way to "build up experience" whatever man, personally I prefer to just jump in the deep end "sink or swim motherfucker" type thing. But then someone pointed out to me that in Africa sinking generally involves dying....so ergh yeah. Hahaha. Not but seriously I can't wait.

So has anyone else got an concrete travel plans? nothing quite like actually booking a trip, ah it's such a buzz, I mean yes my bank account is looking a bit bruised but the money is there for travelling not stroking and cooing lovingly to.

 

Ooo that sounds wicked cool Huffy. You're gonna have an awesome time!

I haven't talked with you in ages, otherwise I would have told you that I'm off to Tanzania and Kenya (possibly somewhere else too) in January!

You made me snort again. ...

 

I blame a-levels, i'll be on MSN a lot more come the 26th! Sweet man, awesome what're you going to be doing there? volunteer work or just leeching off the country as a western tourist, man I love being a leech.

 

Aww man, I forgot you have your exams now!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for ya.

Yeah, leech is good. Though I might end up doing some voluntary work as well, have been looking into different options! How long will you be in Africa?

 

Shanks man, I had my 1st today, it went ok :S still I don't have to apply for Uni for another year so I can always resit if I fail (i'm going to university in SA so Jan '09)

I'll be gone for 33 days for trip plus 4 days before hand in Harare visiting cousins and grandma, then afterwards about a nother week/10 days visiting my grandfather (from the otherside) aunt's and uncles........so a coupla monthes I guess

 

Very exciting.... I'm driving to heaven aka Cooperstown, New York for a week at the end of July. :H

 

If you're telling me Heaven is in New York, then Hell is either in Michigan... or Fargo, North Dakota.

 

I don't care for the state.... but Cooperstown itself is Heaven on Earth.

 

cool is that far ?

 

A 16 hour drive across five states....I'll be spending a week in my car. Its going to smell and be awesome. I can't wait.

 

Well, I've got a 12 hour drive coming up for Bonnaroo.

And I'm about to leave for the free Keller Williams show on Brown's Island, in Richmond. It's this island in the middle of the James River.

 

That does sound awesome fun

 

The thought of Bonnaroo scares the poo out of me... ()

Yes!
