Wow. Certainly have been busy. 2010 is proving to be amazing.
Lately been trying to finalize last details for the South Africa trip: was gifted some good travel books, have been in touch with friends who traveled to SA, and friends of friends currently living there. Still need to figure out one last place to stay in Johannesburg and determine a plan of action for the rental car needs, and then can relax and start getting excited. The World Cup draft came out about a month ago, this fact alone warrants it's own post. Soon.
Went for a weekend trip to Lake Tahoe. Always beautiful. Stayed at a friends cabin, went snowboarding at Sierra. Everyone who knows Tahoe, or wants to know about it should read Mark Twain's book 'Roughing It'. Tells the tale of Twain's misadventures through the North, including a description of a - pretty much - undiscovered Lake Tahoe.
Was in need of sun and hot sand, impulsively booked a trip 3 night trip to Mexico over Valentine's Day weekend. Oo-la-la. All-inclusive. Decided to not even start a countdown for this because it's in less than a month. Details to come in a future post.
