thinking about my upcoming trip to South Africa

wow, I've not blogged in a while.  I'll have to remedy that. 

I want to start thinking out loud about my trip to South Africa and ways to use this blog on the trip, even doing some mobile blogging from my phone or via email.  I think I will have access to computers or even wifi from my phone, even if the phone doesn't work in S.Africa.  But I may also want a week or more away from email.
