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!

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 voted for none... but only because I'm thinking this won't be your last trip to Africa in your life... you can do it next time!! Plus, I am oh-so excited to read about travels in South America! (and aren't you supposed to meet the future Mrs. Lee there?!?!?) hahaha! :lol:

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