This is what I'm starting to feel like. The car in the Monopoly game. After just being home from Rwanda only 36 hours, in another 6 hours I'm off to Lamu, an island near the coast of Kenya. It's vacation time, and my Zanzi-buddy Ron just flew in from Lagos where he was doing design and newsroom trainings. We're launching another leg of our Fabulous World Tour--at least of the islands near the coast of Kenya, anyway.
In July, 2008, I, Princess Rachella, Intrepid African American Girl International Journalism Consultant, pulled up stakes once again and headed to Nairobi, Kenya. Through my various adventures, I've concluded that if I get any MORE explosively fabulous in these prequel years to "THE BIG 5-0," I will have to register myself with the Pentagon as a thermonuclear incendiary device.

On the Road Again, and Again, and Again, and Again...-
This is what I'm starting to feel like. The car in the Monopoly game. After just being home from Rwanda only 36 hours, in another 6 hours I'm off to Lamu, an island near the coast of Kenya. It's vacation time, and my Zanzi-buddy Ron just flew in from Lagos where he was doing design and newsroom trainings. We're launching another leg of our Fabulous World Tour--at least of the islands near the coast of Kenya, anyway.
We still can't get over how two Midwestern kids grew up to be kinda-sorta jetsetters. Deep down, a part of me expects to wake up one day and be riding a Metro train to my job at Target or something.
But I've come this far without that happening, so I guess this is my lot, for the immediate future. I'm keeping the engines revved, but am sure I'll need a tune-up eventually.
Umm, is there a mechanic named Idris in the house???
