Lost luggage in Joburg So we zoomed onto our Johannesburg flight, and we were worried about our luggage making it. The guy told us to just kind of zoom on and things would be okay. Walking off the plane I asked Tara and Halle, “Do you think we used up all our luck, or do…
WHAT. A. DAY. Our first day in Serengeti exceeded our wildest expectations. Yesterday evening I told Charles I wanted to see a Cheetah. We were joking that I was good luck, and that it would probably be the first animal we saw in the parks. Halle said, “Cheetah with cubs.” We all laughed and I…
Rusty woke up a little early this morning to go for a swim in the beautiful pool. Here’s his IG shot. The Tanzanians thought he was CRAZY. The water was pretty cold, but he said as long as he was moving it was ok. We enjoyed another breakfast with a view and then it was…
TRIP OF A LIFETIME! We are all changed for the better because of this trip. Rusty and I now see why Halle loves Africa so much. Any number of words we write will not be sufficient to explain all that we saw and all that we felt. I was so excited I could hardly sleep…

Whale dayyy–Halle We woke up in the morning to glorious sun and blue sky! Dad went and sat on the beach for a while in the morning and then came to get us so we could all hurry to the beach and soak up the warm sunshine. The beach was right outside our resort and…
This was a LONG, yet beautiful day. The weather wasn’t awesome, which might have worked out a little in our favor, at least for the drive. The road wasn’t too crowded. And thank heaven, because it was stressful enough even with low crowds! Our first stop was at Aunt Sandy’s for banana bread. And it…
