Holy!!! 3 more sleeps and I'm going...... I am super excited.. yet a little apprehensive. Thanks to everyone who helped me get to this point in any way at all!! You all have no idea how much it is appreciated. And dad, hope you're ready to see the African continent. XOXOXOXOXO

18 days!! Holy smokes!!

Details of my trip.

So leaving the 26th of February, the first 3 days will be spent in Paris, France with my Bridges of Hope team. We then travel to Burkina Faso, Africa. There I will spend 10 days getting to help build the school I am creating as a legacy to my late father Jim Barton. Also we will be touring some orphanages and hospitals along the way. And we get to spend a day with our foster children. I have 2 Adiara and Loukmane. The main goal of this trip to Burkina is to experience life over there to be able to spread the word back home about how we can help and aid the 3rd poorest country in the world. (Pics to come.)
When I leave Burkina I will be going on a 36 day tour with Acacia tours. It starts in Nairobi, Kenya, and ends in Livingstone, Zambia. On this tour I will travel into Kenya, Rwanda/Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi and Zambia. In Rwanda/Burundi I will do a 1 day hike to see Gorillas in their natural habitat. We will be traveling to numerous national and big game parks including the Serengeti, Bwindi, Masai Mara, Olduvai Gorge and many other places and parks. Livingstone is where the world famous Victoria Falls are and I spend a few days there before flying out to Johannesburg. From here I have another 12 days to back pack across South Africa, where I will come home from Cape Town on May 2nd, 2010. (Of course pics to come!)
