Day 13- Turtle Island to Myne Resort

The beds here were ok (single beds, however), but the pillows were pretty bad- a hard thick foam. I slept ok I guess until the craziest storm woke me up. It was pouring rain, maybe some of the strongest I have ever heard, especially amplified by the metal roof. It was definitely the loudest thunder I have encountered; it was directly overhead. What was crazier … Continue reading Day 13- Turtle Island to Myne Resort

Africa 2017- Day 15: South Africa- shark dive 2

Again I woke up many times- so did Bryan…4am again came early.

We were supposed to learn … Continue reading Africa 2017- Day 14: South Africa- shark dive

Africa 2017- South Africa- Day 13: Arriving in Cape Town

I will say that the airport there has really got it down in terms of systems. We got our luggage, got through customs and security within like 15 minutes? It was the easiest time … Continue reading Africa 2017- South Africa- Day 13: Arriving in Cape Town

Africa 2017- Madagascar- Day 12: Leaving Tana

I have had really weird dreams since I arrived here- very long, elaborate ones, which have been very odd. Of course, because of the Van Damme reference, I dreamed we met him- only he was the weird guy Gavin who runs Hooli in the sitcom, Silicon Valley. I also got hired on at Bryan’s work because I had learned enough from his discussion of it … Continue reading Africa 2017- Madagascar- Day 12: Leaving Tana
