Embarking on 10 Years of Holiday Adventures!

A safari has been on the Traveling Hillbilly’s bucket list for quite some time and I’ve been actively trying to plan one for the last 3 years.   What better time than the 10 year anniversary of our friend’s holiday trip?   On our 8 year trip, we started talking about what we might do for our 10 year.  We weren’t sure at the time what that might be, but we wanted it to be epic!   During last year’s trip we started to plan.  We all wrote down our top couple of choices, not surprisingly, we all had some of the same ones, surprisingly, a Safari was not on everyone’s list.   We narrowed it down, agreed to each do some research and regroup after the first of the year to make a final selection.  Our short list included, Safari/Cape Town, Thailand/Vietnam, Galapagos Islands and Morocco.   All exciting destinations, but I believed a trip to South Africa had all the things we wanted, adventure, great food and wines, and warm welcoming people.    After some discussion, we all agreed Safari and Cape Town would be the place to spend our 10^th year holiday trip.
