Fierce Invalids in Hot Climates Amber and Jerad chronicle their life-changing journey from Napa Valley wine snobs to globe-exploring vegabonds

It has been crazy since leaving our safari and heading for the orphanage.  I will try and just give you the short facts and leave the emotional narrative to Amber.  We arrived at an orphanage with no kids which was Amber's sole reason for doing to program.  After a lot of talking we decided to just scrap that plan and head out to Zanzibar.  This has been really hard on Amber so send her your love and support.  When we arrived on Zanzibar, this beautiful exotic island, we decided to head out to a emote beach to get away from it all and relax for awhile.  On the second day of the trip out there all of Zanzibar lost power and slowly our hotel ran out of water, food, you name it and since we prepaid for a week to get a cheaper rate they wouldn't refund any of our money.  So our relaxing vacation turnined into eating canned beans and scrounging for bottled water.  We have finally gotten back to Dar Es Salaam and are trying to regain composure and figure out what we will do until th 12th When we fly to S. Africa.  So what started as a wonderful safari and opportunity turned into definitely the most challenging part of our trip so far.  The skys ahead look brighter and we hope to go to a beach on the mainland where there is power.  We miss you all and plan to post pics and Amber will blog tomorrow, so you will get some more substance from her shortly but I just wanted to touch base.  JN
