Ready for lift off!!!

The time is now 10:20 and in four hours time I will be waking up and getting ready to go to Cardiff Airport. I've packed everything from my diary to my clothes, music and my guitar. Everything has gone smoothly so far, although we have just found out that we only have enough Malaria tablets to last us about 4 days!!!!! Ooops!
We are flying to Amsterdam and are then getting a KLM flight to Dar es Salaam, and should arrive at about 22:00 local time. For the first two night we will be staying in Dar at the Lutheren guest house (?), which dad has organised for us.
I can't wait to get back to Africa. There is always something magical about getting off the plane in Africa and being hit by the warm air, blowing across the airport. Last time I visited was in 2002 with the family for a couple of weeks.
On a slightly more worrying point, my gilfriend Ange typed "travel safety" into google and 2 of the three countries that we are visiting are listed as no-go areas. Even worse is that two of the roads that we are hoping to travel on are known to have occasional ambushes. Add to that the fact that we have been told not to travel around Burundi without a United Nations escort, and we may have to alter our travel plans stilghtly over the next week.
Well, I'd better go to bed and enjoy four hours of sleep before getting up to catch the plane at 5.

On a slightly different note, one of my favourite musicians, a guy called John Mayer has just released a new single on his website which I thought was quite nice. You can check it out at:
