Preparing for Africa

This blog was created with a specific goal in mind - a place to communicate with my world as to my upcoming trip to Rwanda, Africa. With such a monumental excursion, naturally there are preparations in abundance. Like this weekend, for existence........
I asked my wife to allow me to maximize my time with my boys over the weekend, so she's accomodating me by leaving us, and heading off to Portland, OR for the weekend to be with her aunt and cousins. We seem to have this wonderful way of "trying to make things even" whenever possible; if I get to do something away from her and the boys, then she gets something in return. I think I'll have a few more of her long weekend escapes in my immediate future to make up for my 10 days of traveling......
Justin & Alex and I have a fun weekend planned, inclusive of pizza, videos, bowling, and who knows what else. At such a young age, the boys have learned about the importance of "men stuff", male-bonding at its finest, where we drink and smoke and cuss freely.........well, ok, we fart now and then and laugh a lot.....

...sounds like a heap o' fun...with my boys it was always fishing, and to this day I have two avid fishermen in my immediate family...besides the drinking, smoking and cussing don't forget to include a trip to Harrah's in Reno!

You steer clear of that Mustang Ranch. No boys that isn't where you go horsey back riding.

•Even is GOOD.
•I think separate vacations are GREAT.
•Bonding, with anyone but most especially with your children, PRICELESS!

I agree with Di, even is good, or just getting some of your OWN space.
Farting in the pool is frowned upon by the management!

but smiled upon by the fart-ee.
