April 15, 2005 - New Plans

Hi Family and Friends,

Brace yourself for the latest in Africa news...Leah and I are arriving back home in California on May 6th instead of our previously booked June 28th. Believe me, we are a bit surprised ourselves, but it feels like what we want to do. For many reasons...

* We miss you, our friends and family
* We are weary of moving from place to place every day or two
* We feel like we have seen what we came to see, and we have done what we came to do
* We feel mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally rested
* We have a new perspective
* We have some great new business ideas
* We have had some great insights, like "Don't fight the Mojo" and "You can't travel away from yourself"
* We want some time to ease back into life in the USA before jumping back into work

We are planning to do "Cindy and Leah's Southwest Friends and Family Tour"
in May to wrap up our adventure. Do you mind if we show up on your doorstep?

We are in Swakopmund, Namibia today. We will spend the next week traveling to Johannesburg in our trusty rental car. Our flights home are as follows...
* April 30th from Joburg to London
* May 6th from London to Los Angeles

You have been great supporters of us in our adventure. Thanks for your continued love and support as we head back for the next exciting leg of our journey!

Love,
Cindy and Leah

Life is Beautiful!
