I don't quite fall into the youngsters category, but I am spending this semester studying abroad. I've got a good amount of pictures, and plenty to write about... I just haven't taken the time to sit down and do it. I know that if I don't write now, my already-faulty memory will not do the trip justice at a later date. Thanks for the motivation to sit down and do the writing that I've been needing to do! This is exactly what I needed to read right now!

When you start asking the infamous questions, "tell me about your trip to Kenia", I bet some responses you'll get are; "well, it was awesome, the flight was long, it was soo hot, the people were nice" Getting some hard core info is like pulling teeth. LOL That's why this site is the best, I feel I've been to the places you've been not ever being there (make sense)?
