Heather's Adventures in Lesotho

I am really fortunate to get a lot of leave days at my job – approximately 2 days per month. This means that I have 11 days to use between now and December 18th when my office closes for the rest of the year. I’ll use 5 of those days to leave early for Christmas break and head back to the U.S. (Just booked my ticket this weekend! I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else but with my family for Christmas.) That leaves 6 days to use. Problem is, I have no idea where to go! Okay, that’s not the right way to phrase it. The problem is I want to go EVERYWHERE, so how do I decide where to start? Do I start with what’s close? South Africa, visiting friends in Botswana, Zambia and Malawi? (Not to mention repeat visits to Mozambique, Namibia and Swaziland?) Do I visit my sister in Germany? What about beach and safaris in Tanzania/Kenay? Gorilla tracking in Rwanda? Ethiopia? Thailand? Oh, you know, I’d go just about anywhere I can think of. It’s all so mind boggling!
