Pre-trip post #1

Hey guys. Well, it is official, I am going to South Africa Dec. 2 to Jan 1. I will arrive in South Africa Dec. 3 and leave Dec 31. I am pumped of course. The whole passport issue was the main problem that was holding us back, and we got my Birth Certificate in and now I am able to go. My passport should get here in a few days. Now, I know there may be a few people being directed to this blog through the Blade Tech site, so you may not know who I am. I could attempt to write about my self, or, you could go to www.myspace.com/spikeallwayz and find out there. I have no problem adding anyone (unless you are a pron star and promote it on your myspace, then your lost). I love meeting new people, although I am not great at it, I love meeting them. Of course, I am naturally excited about the trip, but at the same time, completely nervous about it. I mean, I am 15, and I will be flying 18 hours to a country I have never been to before. A few things that give me relief, 1) my sister is there and will be there to great me, 2) my flight is direct flight via Delta airlines. 3) My parents can take me to the gate in ATL. Of course, with all the ups, there are the downs that make me nervous. 1) Homeland security, I may not be carrying anything illegal, but when you just look at one of those guys, it suddenly just makes you feel like you are 2) I have no idea what the temp. is gonna be there, but its gonna be hot! 3) I am flying over the ocean....need I say more? 4) I have no idea what kind of food they eat over there...great thing is, I am not TERRIBLY picky, just sort of (mom, if you are reading, don't comment on that). Anyways, I will be updating this blog more before I leave, while I am there, and after I get back. I will upload pictures if I get a chance. Things to remember while I am gone. South Africa does not have 21st century internet access. It is not fast and easy like it is here. So if I lack in posts, I am sorry, but I will do my best. Also, I may be the owner of small business, but that doesn't mean I am gonna keep this blog professional and be all serious and stuff. Thats to boring for me. I am gonna be fun and real. Anyways, I have 2 weeks of school work to get done so I can go on this trip, so I am out. Have a great one, and talk to you guys soon.

Sincerely,
Simon
