Well our first (well, one of our first) major decisions about Africa is made…I finally decided on a camera to bring! I bought a sub-compact almost SLR last year, but have just not been happy with it. On the other hand, we are trying to be super-frugal so that we are in the best position possible prior to our departure, so that our line of credit doesn’t start taking too much of a beating too early!
At any rate, after much debate and with much support from Cin, I purchased my first digital SLR – the Sony A100 – mainly it made the finals due to its compatibility with my old lenses from my non-digital Minolta….so we will see how it works out. So far, I am pretty happy, but still need to work on portrait capabilities with it as I haven’t been all that happy with those.
In other news, we finally sub-letted our condo here and have to be out by January 6th! Now that we actually have to pack and move, this trip seems so much more tangible….but I am (almost) too busy to worry at this point – here’s to jumping straight in!
In addition, wrapping things up at work seems nigh-on impossible, but I guess it will all get done (since it has to)!

Going to Malawi!

So we are going to Malawi (OK, so we found out weeks ago, but I have only just now gotten around to starting a blog to document our latest and greatest adventure (so far))!

Jules, Regan and I are packing up our cozy little Guelphie lives and moving to Lilongwe, Malawi for one year. Although the exact leaving date is still to be confirmed, it should be sometime in January 2008.

More to come later - just wanted to mark the occasion of actually getting around to setting this up!
