Due to unforeseen issues with a newly refurbished Sprint Blackberry, we were unable to “moblog” like we did from our China trip. We thought we also had a suitable backup in place with a FIFA-endorsed SIM card, but that turned out to be a struggle as well. We quickly decided to just buy a cheap South African cell phone with prepaid minutes our first morning there. This worked well for connecting with others in South Africa, but not so well for emailing posts to the blog.
Now, we think it might be fun to do the posts in a retrospective fashion. This way, we can actually post the photos at the same time as we post our activities. We’ll try to do it regularly, but we’ll see how real life interplays with this plan.
