    Headed to South Africa for a few weeks fellas

    Haven't missed a log in day for about 8 years...

    So don't be worried, if I disappear.

    I'll take any travel recommendations for Cape Town and Kruger National Forest for those with any experience!

    Don't forget to pack your great-white repellent.

    Nothing ruins a picnic like ravenous sharks stealing your ham sandwich from right under your nose.

    No

    hardest part done. Dropped my dog off with my buddy and his two best dog friends.

    first time he won't be sleeping next to me since we got him 20 months ago.

    3rd hardest part will be traveling to South Africa starting with an Uber at 7:30pm Ending when we part our rental car at the air BNB in Camps Bay, Cape Town about 3pm South Africa time on Monday.

    first hardest part will be coming home. all those airports and airplanes better have wifi so I can gamble in the SBR Casino
