Safari So Good

Our Africa trip presents some interesting logistics problems. We’ve already mentioned the weight restrictions, but there are more issues. After spending nearly 24 hours on planes, we don’t settle down of a two-week stay. We don’t stay in any one place more that two or three days, so packing and unpacking need to be simple. Fortunately, all you need for trip are books, music, and entertainment on the plane, cameras and journals during the safari, and a way to back up the digital pictures because you’re not likely to make this trip again.
We’ve decided to address this with technology. (Not an original solution, to be sure.) The centerpiece is an Android tablet. We have software for downloading and playing movies on the plane, reading our Kindle books, and, or course, updating this blog. We also have a USB connector for the card reader for storing our pictures, and wifi to upload them to the web. Hopefully, everything will work correctly.
