My sisters and I are off to the Moremi Game Reserve in Botswana. And talk about impactful women… Chief Moremi III created the reserve in 1963. When he died, his widow, Elizabeth Pulane Moremi, took over and made sure to conserve the wildlife after seeing the toll hunting had taken on the animal population. Takes a woman! I think we’ll be able to explore the waterways in a mokoro, or dug-out canoe hewn from ebony or “sausage-tree.” Ever been in one? ___ For updates about Mar

We arrived in the Okavango Delta today. It’s a veritable Disneyland x 1000 for people who love wildlife. During the summer (Jan.-June), rain from the Angola highlands flows into the delta, spreading out over 14,500 square miles, attracting all kinds of wildlife.

Check out the beautiful surfing conditions here in Cape Town, South Africa! Rated by Surfer magazine as one of the 10 best surf cities in the world , I would not surf anything as big as the photo shows, but I appreciate that others do.

I grew up in a middle class Midwestern family doing family road trips in our Chevrolet station wagon. From Chicago, we went to all the way to Florida one year to visit my aunt and her family. Another year we traveled to California to visit neighbors who'd moved there. My dad, who I write about in BLISS ROAD , loved to travel and saw every outing as a learning opportunity. If he knew how much my sisters and I now travel, he'd be pleased. Our current trip begins here in Cape To
