Apologies

I'm hoping no one has written me off (at least not everyone) given the fact that I've been failing to keep the blog updated of late. Truth is, internet of any acceptable speed is difficult to find
in Tanzania, especially considering a week was spent out on safari (which was everything you thought it might be). Pictures may take awhile, as wifi is about as common as a lion kill in these parts.

Ok, so the update is, I've been traveling for the past 10 days with these two girls (an Aussie and a Brit) who have been a lot of fun and it's made it much easier to get around. Currently I'm in Zanzibar, heading to a small island called Mafia Island in a few days to do some deep sea game fishing and diving (supposedly the best on the Indian Ocean). Can't wait for that.

From there, I'm likely headed to Mozambique, probably overland but may fly if the price is right. My friend Ed is meeting me in Maputo (if he doesn't flake) which should make for a nice and interesting conclusion to this adventure. My plan (for those who still remember who I am) is to be back in NYC for my birthday on June 10th (*observed June 11th). Before then I'll be through Mozambique and South Africa with the possibility of poking my head in elsewhere along the way.

Anyway, I'll try to keep everyone updated. It's real hard to get any work done when A) you're not traveling alone (though the girls leave in a few days), B) you can't openly work on your laptop in view of anyone (it's not recommended), and C) you're constantly on the move. So, I'll do my best to keep the entertaining stuff coming, but bear with me.

In the meantime, I've decided to launch another blog upon my return to keep the juices flowing. Topics and stories will be no less random, self-depricating, and hopefully, funny. Until then... I have a massage to get to.

I'm in Dubai

That should pretty much say all that needs to be said about why I haven't posted in awhile. I could go into detail about this place, but it may make your head spin.

Prior to getting here, I'd heard mixed reviews. I have had no such mixed experience. Only good times.

In any case, I'm almost ready to post a story about America that I think you all may find interesting. To be fair, you may need to give me a few days to get that up here. In the meantime, I'm seeing Tiesto spin tomorrow night which should be sufficiently insane, and then flying to Tanzania on Saturday. Things are bound to slow down a bit there.

Until then, I'm still basking in the glow of a Giants Super Bowl win. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm still choking down all the Eli insults I've been spewing over the past two seasons. Watching the game in Cairo was definitely an experience, too. Though the Egyptian people can pretty much suck my ass and they'd still be getting more than they deserve.

No offense. Details on that forthcoming as well.
