Welcome to 30 Candles, 21000 Miles -- our South Africa blog! One week from today we'll be hitting the sky on a plane bound for Detroit, and then a plane bound for Amsterdam, and then (finally!) a plane bound for Cape Town.
So why 30 candles, 21000 miles? Ryan will be blowing out 30 candles while we're in Africa -- October 9, to be exact. That's really the reason for the timing of this trip -- he felt the need to get out of the country, out of the continent, out of the northern hemisphere to celebrate I guess :) And 21000 miles is the guesstimated number of miles we'll be traveling...10222 miles to get to South Africa, 1625 miles around South Africa, and 9152 miles to get home. Yes those are going to be ridiculously stupid long flights but don't worry, my boyfriend will be bringing every possible electronic gadget available under the sun to keep us entertained!!
So far they include an iPod touch, iPad, Kindle, cell phone, digital camera, and digital camcorder. But we still have 6 days til we leave. There may be more by the time we leave ;)
