20 years

We are celebrating our 20th anniversary on this trip, so I have attached a wedding picture. We haven't aged a day in 20 years. Amazing.

When we started planning this trip, Catherine suggested we do something really different. Africa is so old hat for us so Catherine suggested we go to ---Disney World. When I pointed out to her that each of us has made several trips to Disney World and Disneyland for that matter, she suggested Las Vegas. Expanding on that theme, she suggested that we could reaffirm our vows at the Elvis Wedding Chapel. We told her, clever, but no go.

Actually, our first choice was to go to West Africa, Mali including Timbuctu. We called to make the reservations and were informed that the British Foreign Service (or whatever it is called) advised the travel company to cancel the trips because of banditry. Now, Rwanda and Uganda, despite their turbulent recent history, are supposed to be two of the most stable countries in Subsaharan Africa. Dan, our partner is not convinced.
