22/365: Champagne

Into our second leg of about a 48 hour flight to Africa. I'm helping my 80 year old mother fulfill her bucket list to go on Safari. I convinced her we should splash out and go First Class/Business Class. My rational was that it would be safer and more comfortable for an octogenarian with two artificial knees. My ulterior motive is that I knew I'd need a lot of alcohol to get my mother through three trips through customs and onto three flights.

21/365: A Toast!

Did I mention I'm taking my 80 year old mother to Africa on safari. Well, it's not a safari like you might think of it. It's a safari suitable for an octogenarian with two artificial knees.

Although the most grueling thing I think we'll encounter are my struggles with getting my mother -- who is a very strong willed character with decided ideas about "Darkest Africa" -- to pack light. No matter. Once the champagne starts flowing in the First Class cabin, all is forgiven.
