Well... after a long and hectic night packing (I didn't start until 9:30, went to Wal-Mart at about 11:00 and finished around 1:30) I'm about to leave Madison for the Memphis airport. My bags are very close to the weight limit, so hopefully they'll pass the weigh in.

I don't think that the reality of the trip has set in just yet, but I'm sure it will come fast when I board the plane. We have a flight from Memphis to Atlanta leaving at 3:55, then we fly straight from Atlanta to South Africa (I think). It's around a 15 hour flight...

We are going to three wild-life parks and hopefully we'll get to go whale watching. Trey will have a trusty video camera to record our cooler outings and we'll do our best to post them here on the blog. We should be posting a lot of pictures as well.

Thanks for posting Trey. Virginia and Emelia... I'm dissappointed.

See y'all in about a month!

-Alex (until I decide on a cooler name than Trey's)
