The Traveling Lynches are beginning the countdown to the 2011 Adventure in Africa. The itinerary is set, the international flights are booked and our spirits are high! We have gathered new safari clothes, mostly long pants, light and easy to pack, as well as long sleeve shirts with lots and lots of pockets. It is amazing how pockets can come in handly while in the African Bush!
We are determined to pack lightly, even though we will be gone for 23 days. We are bringing our digital video camera and Richard's new Nikon 7000 digital camera for stills. We want lots of pictures to share and video to watch later.
Packing for this trip will be interesting. The weather will be variable, from 84 F highs to 60 F lows. And in the higher elevations, cooler and wetter. We did find some good rain ponchos on line for the Mountain Gorilla trek since they indicate that the weather may be wet. The Impenetrable Forest where we will try to find them is in Uganda, and we have never been there before. It has worked out that the very day we make this mountain climb will be our 20th Wedding Anniversary! When I think back to our Wedding Day (April 6th), I wonder if Richard ever suspected I would have him climbing mountains in Uganda to sit among the Mountain Gorillas on our 20th Anniversary. He would probably not believe it if it had been forseen!
Life sure is wonderful!
I will be adding more each day to this journal/blog and I hope you will follow along. There will be lots to share and excitement to unfold.
