Africa Itinerary!

Less than two days until I leave for Africa and I can hardly sit still. In fact, this entire week I have been restless and have had trouble focusing on anything other than my trip. I have probably annoyed the hell out of Daniella by constantly asking her last minute questions and my dad who has helped me get in contact with the relatives I will be visiting...but I just can't help it. I'm excited.

Although nothing is set in stone yet, here is the most current itinerary I have planned (subject to change). I'm sure you'll notice that there aren't many details yet, which will have to come after the trip is over, I'm afraid:
