Mwamba Field Research Station:  June 17th (Photo Credit: MFSC download)

I've always looked at pictures of lions, leopards, zebras, and elephants wondering what it would be like to stare them in the face. This past year I realized that I'm fully capable of actually going to Africa, not just dreaming about it. So, I made it happen. Now, I am calmly trying to lock down all of the details, 24 hours before my trip. I'm glad flying standby all these years has prepared me to keep calm in long days of airport travel.

For those of you curious about where I'm headed or what I'm doing, so am I! I have an outline of where I'll be heading, so take a look and follow along. I'll likely be editing photos for the months to come, but I'll try and throw a few up on the blog to keep you interested. I have no clue how much internet connectivity I'll have, so I can't promise much!

But, I DO promise I'll share everything, when I return. In multiple forms, so if you're reading this, you'll be the first ones to know, that some sort of book is on the way!
