Five hours from now I'll be on my way to Dubai.  I've always wanted to go to Dubai.  Unfortunately, I'll only be in the airport for a few hours before catching a flight to South Africa.

This will be my first time on the African continent so I'm pretty excited.  Table Mountain, here I come!

I'll be in South Africa for 2 weeks.

I'm thinking that South Africa is about as far away from False Pass, Alaska (where my niece is) that a person can get and still be on the same planet.
