Many of you that read this blog know that our ship was detoured and we did not go to Mombasa, Kenya. Too many pirates in the water.
We went south to Mauritius. A beautiful French speaking island way out in the middle of nowhere east of Madagascar. To think about that now makes me tired because we have been all over the eastern continent of Africa to get to where we should have started. It was taxing to say the very least, however, we are fine. The trip was more than incredible and to say that it was life changing...that would be right. Why? If you are in Alabama reading this, NYC, California, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia,Louisana, Florida, Texas, Alaska, Washington DC, Hong Kong, England, Irealnd, Portugal,....wherever we have friends reading this, look around where you are right now. Take a mental snap shot and say a prayer that you have what you have. Lucky? Is that the right word? Blessed? Hopefully, grateful. Even in the VERY worst economic times or when you have felt the very worst you have ever felt, having NO water and begging for it would trump any pain or empty pockets you may have ever had. Our family of four, here on this experience of a lifetime, we have burning memories, seered into the deepest parts of our brains of this country, Tanzania. We will try to share our experiences on this blog. We took thousands of photos. It will take a while. However, we are in a hotel in Dar ES Salaam tonight and have high speed internet! We will start posting stories and photos asap.
