http://blogs.bootsnall.com/tmags a.k.a. Tim's Excellent Adventure Thu, 21 Dec 2006 23:55:28 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Well, here I am. Back in the "real world." Re-entry has been interesting. Now I'm busy trying to process everything that has happened during the last nine months, while at the same time figure out what to do next. In looking back at my trip, here are some of the ... http://blogs.bootsnall.com/tmags/lessons-learned.html Yesterday evening I landed in Atlanta, GA after a 9 hour flight from London. Although the Delta flight was probably good compared to most US flights, it was the worst flight I've been on this whole trip. No personal video screens, no free booze, and the airport security in Atlanta ... http://blogs.bootsnall.com/tmags/back-in-the-us-of-a.html The last couple of weeks in Cape Town have been a random mixture of non-stop action and sitting around the hostel all day doing nothing. After my last post I was invited by some locals to go up to a little town called Clanwilliam for a big music festival that ... http://blogs.bootsnall.com/tmags/cruising-around-the-cape.html (This was originally posted on August 30th as "Friends". I've added some pictures of Mike to this post, so I'm bumping it back to the top.) I've said this before, but it bears repeating. One thing I've learned on this trip is that it's not always the sights you see and ... http://blogs.bootsnall.com/tmags/friends.html I was online today while listening to some tunes, and was notified about a new version of I-Tunes that's available for download. Being the good computer user that I am, I went to the Apple site to see if there were release notes on the new verison before choosing to ... http://blogs.bootsnall.com/tmags/for-my-i-pod-loving-friends.html Man, I can't believe that it's been four whole weeks since my last post. Where did the time go? Well, I'll tell you where it went. It went game driving, safari walking, cheetah feeding, quad biking, beer drinking, table dancing, dune hiking, wine tasting, and t-shirt shopping. :) http://blogs.bootsnall.com/tmags/back-to-the-city.html Apparently the BootsnAll server crashed recently, and several of my recent entries were lost. I've reposted them, but unfortunately the pictures aren't there anymore. Instead of re-uploading the pics, I'm just going to refer you to my photo site. I'm woefully behind on uploading pics, and have hundreds more from ... http://blogs.bootsnall.com/tmags/screeech-crash-bang.html The last three weeks have been action-packed, and it's hard to believe I've been on the overland truck for five weeks already. Harder still to believe is that aside from the guesthouses in Zanzibar and the houseboat in Zambia, I've been sleeping on the ground in an old A-frame tent ... http://blogs.bootsnall.com/tmags/whew.html Last night we camped on the edge of the South Luangwa National Park in Zambia. Wildlife routinely pass through the campground, and I woke up this morning to find this outside my tent: http://blogs.bootsnall.com/tmags/you-dont-see-this-everyday.html It's now been 14 days since I joined the overland trip to Capetown. The tour is operated by a UK company called Bukima, and they do trips of varying lengths all through Africa. Some are as short as four days, others as long as 30 weeks. My trip is called ... http://blogs.bootsnall.com/tmags/overland-in-africa.html
