Vacation by the Numbers

Some people get substitute teachers...I have a substitute blogger. All the way from Colorado, here are some of Andrea's witty musings on our trip...

Vacation by the Numbers Part 1:
0: Number of times I've beaten Caitlin at Rummy
1: Hour difference between Zambia and Tanzania. Good to know when you're leaving for safari trip
2: Number of marriage proposals
3: Lions seen at Ngorogoro Crater today
4: Oceans Caitlin and I have visited together
5: Feet away from elephant herd
6: Times needed to understand what our safari guide could possibly be saying
7: Types of transportation used while in Africa
8: Bruises I have from four-wheeling
9: Mosquito bites on left leg alone
10: Number of times we laugh uncontrollably each day
15: Items bought in one trip to local market

Vacation by the Numbers Part II:
0: Tolerance for African transport
1: Can of pringles between the 2 of us for lunch
2: Times bus broke down
3: People squished in bus seats
4: Time ferry to Zanzibar left without us
5: Times cursed African transportation
6: Time bus supposed to leave this a.m.
7: Men yelling at me when demanded money back
8: Shillings needed for taxi from bus station to hotel
9: Hours it took to go from Arusha to Dar es Salaam

Okay...so African vacation doesn't always go as planned. But we ended the day well...not in Zanzibar as scheduled....but spending time on the Indian Ocean. Afterall, tomorrow is another day!
