Three Day to go until Departure for Cairo

Well the time has almost arrived and it would not be an adventure without last minute changes. Apparently we now can only have a 70 litre bag and what will fit into our permanent box. This means I will have to repack. I would suggest the changes are due to the number of riders who are coming on the ride...about 65 I believe. I had packed my bike box...good thing I had not sealed it yet!!!



On another note...if you wish to donate and have not done so I will be fundraising while I am on the ride so please consider supporting the cause. Just a reminder that all the money that is donated will be placed into the Bridge GAP fund...none of it will be used to pay for any aspect of my ride.


As I reach the departure date I reflect back on the journey that has taken place. As Oprah says..."what I know for sure is...."....that once I make a commitment it is amazing how the universe supports me to achieve the intention...that one needs to be flexible...that I have amazing friends in my life....that small steps lead to the final step... that I have the ability to push myself to do what my mind will try to convince me that I am not able to do...to stay focused...and as my dear friend Harriet has told me..."with discipline comes freedom"...yes it took incredible discipline to buy my condo and pay it off in five years...it took many sacrifices but it also gave me the freedom to achieve this dream that I am about to embark on...I am very grateful for all the advice that I have been given even if I did not follow it:-))))


So again I say stay well and may you be blessed in this new year. We never know if when we say good-bye if it will be for the last time or not...so if anything does happen....THANKS for all that I have learned and gained from each one this lifetime...now that is over!!!!!...hopefully I will see you all when I return.

I will update this blog as I can along the route. You can always go to www.tourdafrique.com for daily updates and photos.

BYE!!!!!
