Traveling-African Style
After two days catching their breath at the beach, our team headed inland. Unfortunately, despite extensive planning, travel in Africa is not as reliable as one might hope. What should have been a short flight to share lunch with the porters and graduates from Global Alliance's job training program turned into an all day ordeal. Drivers arrived late, flights mysteriously left early so ticket takers could attempt to renogiate a fare, direct flights became multi-stop flights and the team arrived in Arusha late in the day. All part of the experience I guess.
These last few days in Africa will be spent in the Serengetti and game park. Its simply astonishing to travel through the park where you see elephants, giraffes, zebras and wildbeast wandering about as casually as we might see people standing at a bus stop.
Home this weekend.
It seems our good friend Josh Sedaris has gone ghost on us. Hopefully, he is not too busy googling to share more of his unique perspectives before the trip ends.
Oh and one more thing. Ms. Wood Prince has denied the report published in yesterday's post that there was any concern about overserving and demanded a retraction of the "smear campaign." The blog has issued a statement standing by its story, stating that "the story speaks for itself."
