The Dream

The Dream has begun.

We bought Foxy this morning, a sturdy 1993 Land Rover which will take us north across the great African continent.

Our plan is to leave South Africa on April 1st, go through Namibia, Zambia, Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt.

From there, we plan to take a car ferry across the Red Sea to Jordan, go through Syria and Turkey before beelining it to London to make our mid/late August deadline.

The Dream has taken on a life of its own, gathering more and more momentum with each passing hour. Our every waking minute is consumed with The Dream, even though we still have our furniture and shipment to deal with, items to sell, documents and visas and carnets to apply for, vaccinations and medical certificates to obtain, and of course, work issues to wrap up.

But it feels so good to be productive each day with this simple goal: The Dream.
