WOW, I Seem to Have Done It!

I can't believe it - I have actually created a blog!

Meg, thanks for your advice in setting this up.

As the title explains, I hope this will be a great way to keep friends and family up to date on our wonderful trip to South Africa. I think it will be much easier than trying to email everyone - I hope you will check back frequently - daily - because our trip will be changing so much on a daily basis.

I, N-J, will generally be the poster (in Scotland called "The Bletherer!") and Tom the photo journalist - both very experienced in these areas (laughing permitted on my talking ability!!!!)

I hope I have set everything up properly - we, of course, want to post photos - we hope they will be fabulous! Tom, the photographer of Jasper Park Lodge fame, will have his 3 mile long telephoto lens, and will be sending me out with bits of muffins to lure the Big Five, so the photos should be great - I, however, may end up a bit worse for the wear!

I am actually going to start blogging now, June 18, about some of the preparation that we are doing/have done and stuff like that. Check it out, because our preparation for a trip is NEVER boring - remember I am the Diva who travels with a red Big Bertha suitcase (OK, usually 2!!), which I just tip my closet into, along with a LOT of jewellery in my carry-on, but I have grave warnings from Gary and Denise about how LITTLE I can bring!!!!! This may create more adventure than the whole damn trip!!!
