It's funny... there's a thing called "African time" which means if something is supposed to occur at 1pm, it usually will get started around 3 or 330... But when it comes to planes and flight schedules, they usually are spot on schedule.. (at least my experience)..
We will head out to the airport in a few hours.. Which means with family coming into town, my blogging may be a bit sporadic.. I will try to blog a bit here and there, but not sure when..
We leave Tuesday for a safari at Liwonde National Park http://www.malawitourism.com/pages/attractions/the_attraction.asp?AttractionsID=35
Will be staying at Linwonde Safari camp - http://liwondesafaricamp.com
Hope to take in some serious wildlife there, while sleeping amongst the animals in the African bush..
On Wednesday and Thursday I'm sure we will be making Merry during the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.. Then we take off Friday to camp again in the bush, followed by 3 days of relaxation at Lake Malawi .. staying at Ngala Beach Lodge http://www.ngalabeach.com..
Needless to say we will be enjoying the company of family..
Below are two photos.. one is of the kids we sent to Jake before he departed DC... just letting him know we were anxious to see him... can't you tell??
The second is Jude, me and a gentleman named Isaac.. When we stayed at Kasungu, this man took care of us and after a while, we came to find out we each had 5 children, and exactly the same ages...
He called Jude his best friend and made sure to give Jude extra special attention.. Jude thinks it was because Isaac couldn't remember his name, and that might be true.. But Isaac was a prime example of the kind of people you meet while traveling through this wonderful part of the world.. He was so genuinely kind and peaceful and just a damn good person. These are the type of people that make us love living here..
If for some reason I don't get a chance to write this later, I want to wish all our family and friends at home a Merry Christmas.. We miss everyone dearly.
