I LOVE to fly!!!

Ever since my first airplane flight way back in my college days, I've been fascinated and mesmerized by soaring through the air miles above the world below.

We are HOME!!! 

And still recovering from the time difference (7 hours)/jet lag/unpacking blues/catch-up duties...not to mention sorting through the 8000 photos that I took during the 3 weeks we were gone.

After two years of planning, including 2 highly-disappointing cancelled African trips due to my cancer treatments last year, in a few hours Kim and I are FINALLY boarding our airplane for a dream 10-day safari in Botswana, followed by a week visiting our missionary friends in Kenya.

In case you don't know where Botswana is (no shaming here...I'm terribly geographically-challenged...I only know because I've dreamed of going here for so long!), it's the country just above South Africa on the globe.

My youngest son Kyler and his family are relocating...from Cincinnati (a 2-hour drive for me) to South Carolina (9 hours drive time).

Football season is in full swing and for these 3 Gray boys, it's flag football.
