Africa (again)

Got my South African Study Visa today so I will be heading back to Africa (South Africa) from the end of January to the end of July. Got a place at the University of Pretoria for one semester although not sure how much studying I am going to manage with all the travel I plan on doing (Cape Town, Kruger, Namibia, Zambia/Zimbabwe, Botswana and perhaps Swaziland, Lesotho and Mozambique as well)...

Very cool. My wife might be going to S. Africa for a few months to do some work with animals in a national park down there as part of her University Studies. If she goes I will go and visit her for a few weeks there.

Right getting on the plane in 10 hours time to head off, should be a good trip if all goes well.

Sure thing Eddie I will if I remember when I go
