T - 4 days
Chicago
,
United States
The netbook has been purchased and this entry is being typed on it. It's got everything we need - an SD card slot for easy transfer of pictures to the computer, built-in wireless internet, and a 160GB hard drive to allow us to store any pictures and videos on it to free up memory card space. It's even got a webcam, which is a bonus.
If I can figure it out, I'll try to set up a ustream account so that people can see us to know that we're still ok (this is for you, Moms). I'm pretty sure it has its own chat thing too, so chances are if we do get on the horn, that it'll be sometime in the afternoon for those living stateside. I can only assume that ustream isn't Baxter-friendly, so I apologize for that.
Picked my seats tonight for our flight to Jo'burg and back to ensure that I won't be stuck next to a stranger or in the middle, which is worth $60 for almost 22 hours of total flying time, and wired away a bunch of money to the person who is generously putting us up in her condo for 3 nights to help us save money. Apparently international wire transfers take up to 10 days, which I can only assume is because they put the money in a canister and send it through a series of underwater tubes to [[South-
Africa
]]. So much for the 21st century.
I'll leave you tonight with a video from our time in Paris during the last World Cup. I can only expect our time at Stamford Bridge will be the same this Saturday:
