Prep time.

I leave DC July 3rd at 10pm, fly into Paris for the day of July 4th (ironic, i know), land in Nairobi early on the morning of the 5th and begin my tour through Kenya and Tanzania on the 6th. Excited? Yes. Scared? A little. Prepared.... Let's see... Flights. check. Hotels. check. Tour. check. Passport. check. Visas. check. Shots. check. Malarial pills. check. Luxury trekking pack with all the bells and whistles. check. Camera. check. Head lamp. check. Swahili phrase book. ndiyo. My right mind. ... I think I might be missing one thing. I think I'll find it if I keep repeating what I've been trying to convince myself of for the past 6 months...I'm going to Africa. I'm going to Africa. I'm going to Africa.
