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.

This is a good blog post. It lets people know where you are and keeps your friends up to date. The super long stories are fine, but you need to post one of these every couple of weeks to keep us wanting more.
Ed is not flaking Son! Non-refundable airfare has been booked. Headed to the doctor's office Thursday to be pumped full of every shot I can get my hands on to keep my white American ass healthy and strong like bull. I'm also doing research for a rhino gun, you just can't be too careful.
See you in a month in Maputo!
