Here We Go Again

It's less than 2 weeks since I've returned from my whirl-wind tour of Kenya, Ghana and Nigeria, and now here I find myself again at the Air New Zealand Lounge at LAX waiting to board a flight to Africa. It seems that I've only just got over my jet-lag and started to feel normal again, and now in the next 24 hours I will travel half-way around the planet again, far from those I love and miss.

This trip will be almost 3 weeks, but I will spend all of my time at the Imperial Royale Hotel in Kampala, Uganda. Work has already begun there building our set in their grand ballroom, and for the next 3 weeks I will be working along with a team of about 100 people to tape season 3 of the Zain Africa Challenge.

My biggest regret as I leave is that I was within one day of completing the luxury tree-fort in my backyard for Brodie and Nik, but it has rained steadily for the last 2 days in Ventura, so I am forced to leave the job undone. All that remains is to finish the stairs that lead up to the deck 9 feet above the ground in our 45 year old plum tree.

Oh, well. Something to look forward to when I return on February 25th.
