OUR TRIP TO SOUTHERN AFRICA - 2023

We moved to a retirement community to free ourselves to travel; then COVID interrupted! Last year we started to resume our love of travel. First with a trip to Canada:  Western Canada by Train & Ferry: Grizzlies, Orcas & Totems- It was a beautiful trip, even though I contracted COVID in the airport and spent some unpleasant days enroute. Our second adventure was September 2022 to Israel and Jordan..an outstanding trip to amazing places.

This year (2023) we continue our travels with a Road Scholar trip described this way,

"Start your journey by experiencing Cape Town's complex history and dramatic natural beauty. Then board Rovos Rail for an evocative train trek to Victoria Falls, making a stop along the way to search for magnificent wildlife. In Zimbabwe, follow in the footsteps of Dr. Livingstone to marvel at Victoria Falls, then journey to Chobe National Park to witness elephants and Cape buffalo quenching their thirst along the Chobe River."

I have spent many days sorting clothes, cameras, medicines ( we are old folks, you know!), and imagining how to get it all in 2 carry-on bags and 2 back packs! And can hardly wait to depart. I will try to find a way to use this blog to make notes. It has been a LONG time since I tried it. Wish us luck in everything.
