The Countdown Begins......
Sunday, October 26, 2008
The countdown is on...for our Kristin's return. Whooooo Hoooooo. If my math is correct (and let's hope it is!) Kristin will be home in about a week. I am so anxious to hear all about her trip. See all the pictures. Learn if that one tiny little carry on suitcase really did hold everything she needed for a month. (I still have my doubts!!) But before I leave, I owe you Fireflies a HUGE thank you. I guess now it would be okay to admit I was TERRIFIED about stepping in to fill Kristin's blogging shoes. I should have known better. You Fireflies are THE BEST. You have made me feel so welcome and I know Kristin is going to enjoy reading your posts as much as I have. So thank you, thank you. I could not have gotten through this blogging month without you. But before I leave and hand the reins back over to our true Queen Firefly, I think we need to have one last bit of fun. :)
I know Kristin plans to post about her trip, but I am impatient. I have a couple of burning
questions I am dying to ask her. First, I want to know if she saw a herd of mama and baby elephants. Out of all the animals in Africa, I would love to see that. Years ago, I watched a nature program on elephants. About how all the female elephants band together--the moms, aunties, sisters--and raise the babies. One big, close knit group of women, sticking together and taking care of everyone. To me, there is something utterly beautiful in that. Plus, any female (animal mammal or not) who carries a baby for nearly TWO YEARS has my vote. Hands down!!
Second, I really want to know what the living conditions are like on a safari. From what Kristin told me before she left, it actually sounded amazingly luxurious. But now that she's experienced it first hand...
So, Fireflies. For our last post before Kristin gets home, is there a question or two you would really like to ask about her trip to Africa? Come on, don't be shy. :)
