I researched scads of safari companies, and we finally decided on a 3 day tour of the masai mara. We’re a little pressed for time in our travels, and the safaris are actually so much more expensive than I had expected! But I think 3 days will be sufficient, and we are also going to the Giraffe Center and Elephant/Rhino Nursery on the 4th day. I just sent the confirmation email to book the trip, and we already purchased our tickets to Nairobi last week, too. Nothing left to do but count down the days :)

Well, we booked our tickets into Johannesburg and have the contacts for two different bus services to Pietermaritzburg and Cape Town for our 2 1/2 weeks in South Africa. We’ll be there in just one month.

Hubby and I scooted across the border from Thailand to visit the temples in Siem Reap. Of course we saw the legendary Angkor Wat, and many of the temples in the compound. We also saw Banteay Srei, the Pink Temple of Women. We took an overland route (by bus), so that we could see some of the countryside as well. The rice fields give off a wonderfully vibrant shade of kelly green that stretches for miles. It was a great experience.
