So I am sitting in the nursing school trying to study for the NCLEX exam I am taking tomorrow, and what did I decide was a better idea?? ... creating a blog for my upcoming trip! This will surely help me become an RN tomorrow.
As for the trip... Will and I are leaving to fly to Johannesburg on June 27th and spending the day in London on the way. Here we will meet up with Carissa and John and head to Kruger National Park to do a little camping. This will be my first camping trip... should be interesting! After this we are headed to Maputo, Mozampique to meet up with one of Carissa's friends. After this, who knows! The only definite after that will be flying out of Johannesburg to return home on July 12th. Gotta love traveling with Sagittarians!!
I hope to be able to post some stories of my travels and hopefully some pictures too. So come back and check for updates! Also, if anyone has any info/suggestions regarding what to pack, traveling in South Africa, and Mozambique, and any general advice please let me know!
Until later-
Megan

Whee! I'm the first to respond to your blog. That is the power of advertising at B&N.
I’m glad things are going so well with your life; it looks like you’re on the track to a successful career. Enjoy Mozambique and south Africa in general.
One thing I had intended to tell you before we went looking for your travel book:
A couple of weeks ago Celine and I had the awe-inspiring pleasure of seeing the travel slides from a family. The title of their talk was “2 years, 5 people, 6 continents, and 51 countries”. This couple took their 3 kids – ages 5, 7, and 9 at the beginning – out of school and the 5 of them travelled around the world for 2 years, covering the 51 countries spread over every continent save Antarctica. Every thing they took with them was in the 5 backpacks that they toted. The overall trip cost an average of $125/day for the 5 of them, including travel. They ate local foods, including grubs and other delicacies.
The parents’ plan was to take their 2 daughters and son when they were old enough to carry their share of the load but not yet teenagers, figuring this age range would be the easiest to wean away from the Research Triangle Area. They were home-schooled during the trip so that upon returning they were only one year behind.
There were many stories and, if you pass by B&N again before your trip, I will relate some of them to you. If not, bon voyage and have a safe trip and return.
