Later today we’ll leave on our first big trip in a while. I mean, not that Costa Rica wasn’t great, nor all the smaller trips last year, nor the Okanagan in 2014. They were lovely and memorable trips, but the last real adventure was South Africa and Botswana back in 2013, just after I started my new job. Today we return to Africa, but a few thousand kilometres away in Rwanda. We’ll stop in Amsterdam on our way back, just to hang out again in one of our all-time favourite cities.

Cheers, kids. Be good while we’re away.
