Introduction

Ok, so I've never blogged before so this may career wildly from crazy ramblings to mundane comments to informative, insightful, highly educational comments.  (OK, so less of the last one than the others but.......).  I've typically been very negative about people who blog being too boring to justify doing it but hopefully I can entertain anyone who cares to look at this from time to time.

So here's the deal, I'm about to pack things in, load up a bag and take off into South America and Southern Africa for just over two months.  I'm planning on keeping this as a running journal and I'll be posting photos as well.  I'll be putting a load more pictures on my Google+ account and maybe Flickr as well.  

Departure date is October 12th and is coming up fast.  Right now I'm going to practice posting some things and see how it goes.  

Thanks for joining me :o)
