It almost seems silly that just over a week ago, we were making our way across the world to meet the blind date that would become our African safari. Meanwhile, you were waiting to meet us, as well. We were surprised, to say the least, that our trip would be so beautiful, so impactful, and so enjoyable. This, however, comes at an interesting time for our family. One is going to university for who knows how long, another is starting in the professional world… also who knows how long. Mom and dad will be tempted to fill their empty nest, in addition to the dog, with rando children from across the world, now, I’m sure. It is a time of transition and change. It is a time, that could very well be, the last that we spend as a family together. It is without doubt that I can speak for all of us when I say; we could not have made better use of this last opportunity to be a family, anywhere in the world. We thank you for what you have done here, politically, environmentally, everything. This experience has the potential to influence, impact, and change. We can’t wait to see what paths this, once blind adventure, will show us next.
