Africa here I come!! WAHOO!!!!!!

I’m more than exhausted right now, but the thought of being in Cape Town in less than 5 hours is so exciting. It feels like yesterday that we were leaving Brazil. This was on longest stretch on the water- From Salvador to Cape Town and it flew by! It’s been extremely cold on this last little stretch to Cape Town; well not cold, about 65 but to me that is very cold. These past few days I have been busy emailing and planning all my stuff for Cape Town. I have been worried that I would have nothing to do, but tonight everything fell smoothly into place! Praise God! I will be so busy and exhausted when I get back to the ship- but I don’t even care. I’m ready to just run myself dry! This city is known as one of the most beautiful cities in the world… I’m afraid that I probably wont be coming home!:) But yeah again, pray for my safety and health while I’m in port. Because I’m so worn out by the end, I often times get sick or am so exhausted that I can’t function. So pray pray pray for me k? Here’s a rough idea of what I’ll be doing for the next week.
Friday 2- sky diving (weather permitting), shopping, then dinner and bar hopping on Long street.
Saturday 3- Stellenbosch wine lands, shopping, dinner and bar hopping again.
Sunday 4- I leave for my safari at 5:00AM
Monday 5- Safari’ing it up! WAHOO!
Tuesday 6- Safari and then home early enough to go eat dinner and party a little
Wednesday 7- Table Mountain and LOTS of shopping!!!!
Thursday- Robben Island and more shopping!!!!
So hopefully everything goes as planned. I’ve heard the weather isn’t supposed to be very great while we are here… So pray that it changes to sun!!

I love you all very much. And I think I will be calling many of you if my phone decides to work!
Kisses and hugs!

Yeah!!!! Looks like fun! I'm sure you haven't been drinking as much as you did in l.a. :) Just stoppin' by to show some love. The family is guilt tripping me into writing you this blog :) Just kiddin'
Wow! Cape Town! Crazy! R U going to tabletop mountain? I guess that's the place to go.
I'm sure after this trip l.a. wont seem like such a scary place. Remember you lived in l.a. for 4 months where you were completely by yourself most of the time. Don't be lonely on the ship. Love every moment!

Great reading the blogs.....AND keep your eye out for a girl for me ;)

Mike and I are so happy that we finally have someone to help us drag the rest of the family to South Africa! You are so lucky! Take lots of pictures. Drink a little wine for us in Stellanbosch and send us a few bottles while your at it! We love you so much and can't wait to hear from you again. Your phone bill is going to be outrageous!
Your favorite SASers,
Mike and Jenn
