First things first: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Nick! Love you A+F!
It is with great anticipation that we will be leaving in a few hours for a journey I have been looking forward to for a year and a half! So much to learn and lots of unknowns, but isn't that the whole purpose of exploring the world and heading into a journey of discovery - an unveiling of not only a country whose history may cause some consternation in a traveler but also the divulgence of forgotten parts of your soul? I welcome the disclosure!
We fly into London to connect with our flight into Entebbe, arriving at @8:00 AM, Zulu time...no... really...Zulu time! The plan is to head to the equator and get a taste of this country that, despite its distracting history, presents some tantalizing possibilities.
Paraphrased, Neale Donald Walsh said that true life begins when you step over the edge into uncertainty - "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone." Uganda, be patient with me as I step over the edge into your country straight out of my cushy, secure, predictable, and certain little comfort zone!
"Safari njema" to us all! (Swahili for "good travels"!)
Where are you? I can't wait for an update!!!
