This quote will be the theme of my trip to Africa and all future trips that I go on. If you haven't seen The Art of Flight, it's an incredible snowboarding movie with amazing cinematography. (Just put it on my laptop for the flight.)
I leave tomorrow for Africa and will be taking a laptop so that I can update the blog as much as possible. Thanks again to all who have contributed and are following this blog. The support from you makes it all worth it. Please make comments on the blog too. Don't be shy!
I'll be in London for the 4th of July on a layover (purposely set it that way as I'm sure it will be interesting...and ironic at the same time.) Keep an eye out for what I'll be wearing on that day.
I leave for Africa from Chicago next Tuesday. So far I have received 3 iPods (not including the 2 I'm picking up this weekend). It's starting to set in that I'll be on a plane across the globe very soon. Time for a few trips to REI.
Today I sent my checklist for the trip to Ashley and received the following "real to do" in response:
"Here's the real to do:
-Get a GOOD shower- you won't have a hot one again for awhile.
-Get rest-you'll most likely go 48 hours with less than 3 hours sleep with all those flights.
-Meditate. (Clear your mind)
-Buy 5 hour energy (After an 8 hour plane ride that you probably won't sleep on you'll want this for London)
-GET PUMPED. The world is waiting for you..."
This has me excited to go and a little nervous at the same time. As long as I have enough memory card space and camera batteries, I'll be fine. Let's do this! Hello world!
