3 Phrases

Three phrases are guiding me through Africa...

• "Its a once in a lifetime experience"
• "I deserve it!"
• "It is what it is..."

These help make things go much more smoothly. Like when I find out that our flight from Livingstone (Zambia) to Kilimanjaro (Tanzania) for our climb is going to cost $1000 (1/3 of the cost of my round the world ticket). By repeating all three phrases over and over a few times, I'm at peace with the world.

NB: Africa is expensive!
