Let the planning and scheming begin!

Hello everyone, welcome to our blog! Its a little sparse now as the World Cup is still 104 days away, but we are both PSYCHED! Our buddy Ander will hopefully be in Rocklands around the same time too.

The planning (and expenses) are well underway since the World Cup has made accommodations costly and hard to find, but all the key dates are booked, with ample space for unplanned adventures.

We thought we booked a car in January, but they lost our reservation. Our late night Skype call to South Africa ended up in a fiasco of being on hold and misunderstanding each others accent. It involved me yelling into the computer and Arun acting as interpreter. We got gauged on the price, but the entire county is suffering from a temporary epidemic known as "World Cup rates." Nonetheless, all is good now, and none of this is deterring our excitement.

Itinerary, game schedule, and more to come later!
