"Don't you EVER read my blog?"

If I feel like something good is coming I generally keep my mouth shut, as if speaking it too soon may keep it from happening.  Occasionally, I’ll tell my closest friends what “may” happen, being ever so careful not to make assumptions or build something up that may never be. However, for the most part, I don’t speak it until its really going to happen. So, when I was asked to travel to Guyana to take Christmas presents to the Tyler Carver Orphanage, I was so excited but I played it cool and told almost no one until the tickets were purchased.  And now the tickets are purchased!!

So, officially:

I’m going to Guyana the first week of December. I’m excited to meet the children and see another International orphanage and I’m honored at the opportunity to share such a special event with them.  I’m also excited because Lonely Planet pointed out that the Kaieteur falls, possibly the highest waterfall in the world, is just a short 1 hour plane flight from Georgetown where we will be.  It is supposed to be 4 times as high as Niagara falls and its in the middle of a jungle so there aren’t all the guard rails and Asian tourists with camera’s around their necks.  After some research, I found what seems to be a reputable company that does a 6 hour expedition to the falls including a 3 hour hike and lunch in the jungle. I’m ridiculously excited.
