So I have a goal. It's actually the only trip I absolutely want to do while I am here. This might sound strange on the continent of safaris, Mt. Killimenjaro, or Egypt (further away than you think). The only thing I WILL do is get scuba certified. I have already been asking around and have tracked down a place in Sodwana Bay. The place sounds really great, the service there is personal and friendly, and the diving in this area is supposed to be amazing. As a good friend advised “you can get certified in any water but why not pick a place where you can enjoy the scenery while you are in the water?” Good advice Craig. Really I have wanted to get my certification for years now since those years back in Salter's Path, NC. The opportunity has arisen and I am plannin'.
I'm pretty excited already and have admitted on numerous occasions that I will go on my own if I have to. There are a few people who might want to come along. I can't imagine having to convince to many people in July when the winds of Lesotho are blowing the coldest and the call of the ocean is the loudest!
Hluhluwe Game Reserve is right there and iMfolozi Game reserve was some king's private animal park back in the day so no matter what I will also get my big five quota filled hopefully! In any event, it's nice to be planning a distraction for myself. As winter comes with the shrouds of darkness and cold (literally the electricity will be gone!), it is refreshing to plan an escape.
So please keep me in your thoughts as July comes around!
