Of my massive readership here on LJ (I still have three of you, right?), I expect most will recognise that LHR is London-Heathrow, but I don't expect JNB to be quite so well known. It is Johannesburg, South Africa -- I am off to South Africa for a couple weeks (well, minus travel time, about 10 days) of rock climbing. It will be my first visit to South Africa, and to Africa as a whole, and I'm pretty excited about this.

I am meeting Mike Grainger there, who is from Kitchener, and with whom I've done a couple previous climbing trips -- though somewhat closer to home, generally being the US south-west. Unlike many of the people I've done climbing trips with, he has done most of the organizing for this one, which has made the prep far more relaxed for me.

While I am gone, I will move cubicles and floors at work, have my room-mate leave and a new room-mate move in. Definitely a busy trip. :)

*waves* Still here!!!

That is really exciting! Do you take many pictures on your trips? I've seen some on FB but they usually seem to be from other people. I'm excited to hear of your adventures! :)

I am really excited!

I don't tend to take a lot of pictures -- one of my failings. I'm often too busy doing stuff to stop and take pictures of it.

Thanks for the trip wishes, and the poster clarification.

Thank you. Saw a couple birds I'd never seen before, and thought of you. :)

Five!

Enjoy the trip; glad to hear that you have someone else who organizes stuff too!

It may be a good thing to be away during the shuffles?

Yeah, dodging the shuffles may be a good thing.
