It's been a long time...

Since you've seen our smiling face(s)

It's been a long time

Since we've seen a sunny day.

But we don't mind

No we don't

As long as we've got you next to me (us)

Ok, badly paraphrased/altered Cake lyrics aside...it's been WAY too long since we actually did anything on this blog. Sputnik and I are taking action to correct this. We have recommitted ourselves to regular posting. I know what you're thinking. Undoubtably it's something along the lines of "We've heard this before. Two years ago you said this same thing and nothing changed. You've had this blog for years now and we've only seen a handful of posts. You guys suck at blogging!" Or maybe that's not at all what you're thinking. Maybe you're ticking off types of cheese in your head or rehashing a recent fight with your lover or planning your supreme take over of the world. I wouldn't know. I'm not a very accomplished Occlumens. 

Anyway, this time we're for real. We have a plan and intend to carry it through. We've actually even set up strategies for ourselves to make it happen. And we're informing you so you can bug the crap out of us if we don't keep our word. So from now on you should expect new posts every Thursday. 

Some will be by me (Jade) alone, some by Sputnik, and some by both of us. From me you can expect several posts chronicling the trip I just took with my visiting parents around Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe as well as a few musings on travel in general and trips I'm in the process of planning. I won't speak for Sputnik but from the two of us you can expect to hear about the trip we're planning for the end of this year/beginning of next year, a false start trip we were thinking about and the trip we're planning for 2016 (this one is a small but super exciting). 

For now I'll leave you with a picture of a lion picking its nose. See you next week!

Mmm...boogers!
