Now that I know I can get a refund minus $100 for my impromptu British Airways purchase upon arrival in South Africa, or change the dates for $50, I need to quickly decide how much time to spend in the region (can you believe I've already been here almost a month?).
If I were at the start of my RTW trip, I would be booking a long overland tour from Vic Falls to Nairobi but with less money in the bank, I want to be more conservative.
Here are the options I'm giving myself….please help me decide!

PS – due to internet bandwith limitations (or should I say price structures by ISP's), I am at a standstill for uploading photographs. Please let me know if you want me to continue posting daily without pictures, or post less frequently (every 2-3 days) with a picture or two (I'll sneak them up)!

How much $ you got left for the trip? My answer would depend on that.
Not prepared to share that info!!

Mozambique, definitely. Everyone who I know who’s been raves about, it’s stunningly beautiful and still relatively unspoilt.

I had a tough time voting, but ultimately went for Victoria Falls. At the same time, I can’t imagine going through Africa without doing a safari! (I’m not a big fan of beaches, so while they might be beautiful in Mozambique like Geoff said, they’re just beaches in my mind.)
And I think your photos make your posts that much more real and interesting, so I wouldn’t mind you spacing out the entries but with photos. :)

It was a tough decision but I say South America the more places the better. Just my vote also on the photos I think a mix some photos and some without Its nice to have something to read daily.. stay safe

You could always upload photos to Flickr and then use their HTML code to paste them into your posts. That’s how I host my photos on my photography blog

South America is easily accessible($) from the US. It may be a long time before you get to Africa again.

I’d say less is more :wink: . Better visit fewer countries and be able to really explore and experience them, then run around more continents and scrape the surfaces. You’re there now anyway Livingston!
I agree….as evidenced by my month in South Africa already!! ;)
