International Travel, Things I Love

In just a week’s time, the hubby and I got a true taste of Uganda — from the bustling international Entebbe airport to the Congo border, the vast Queen Elizabeth National Park and even crossing the Equator.

International Travel, Things You Should Know

Wait; what?? There’s gorilla trekking in Uganda? Now that’s something on the proverbial bucket list.

When the time to depart finally arrived, I was quite nervous. After so many blips, changes and uncertainties (see previous post), we were finally airborne. Changing our arrival in Africa from Nairobi to Dar Es Salaam meant an extra flight, but leaving from Burbank Airport (to Seattle) is so swift and hassle free that it […]
