It's two days till our trip and everyone's excited...that is everyone who's going. Family and friends, on my side, still worry that we'll be kidnapped or caught up in the civil war that's still "raging" down there.

If it wasn't safe we wouldn't be going. Perhaps it's naivety on my part, but shoot (no pun intended) there's plenty of places here I'll stay out of thank you very much.

It will be great to get away from the fast-paced life we've been living and to spend time getting acquainted with my new family and bonding with Niles on our adventure. There's plenty of stuff to see and do and we just can't wait to go. It will be a few more hectic days, until we take off.

Later....

James
