It's June 9th, 2010 and I'm taking a quick break from packing. This afternoon I leave for New York to meet up with two friends (Chris & Mike) for our trip to the southern hemisphere for World Cup 2010. To say that I'm excited for this trip would be an understatement...
Over the course of the next two weeks I will be blogging details of our trip to Cape Town and Johannesburg (via Dubai) to take in four group matches and exploration of a country that I visited all-too-briefly in 2005. Chris and I made a "pact" in 2006 that we would make it to South Africa in 2010. Chris must take much of the credit for making this whole thing happen - entering the ticket lottery over a year ago, planning flights and setting up itineraries. Mike has booked the accomodations in both cities and I performed the arduous task (!) of reserving the rental cars (thanks Orbitz...).
Not knowing the proximity and availability of internet access while away, I'm not entirely certain how frequent the blog updates will be, but I'll give it my best shot to do regular updates...
