It's just after 6:30 PM (or, in Zambia time, 18:00), and we are all safely settled into Pioneer Camp outside Lusaka. We are thoroughly jet-lagged, but we managed a mega-grocery shop (15 people!), we sorted our donations (mostly as a way to keep ourselves awake), and eaten our first dinner in Zambia. It got dark 15 minutes ago, which is just fine with everyone, because there's universal longing to go to bed, what with 9 hour time-zone shift, and the wonders of trying to sleep in an airplane seat.
Tomorrow we head into town to visit our schools. More later!

Introduction
Assuming Zambia Internet connectivity cooperates (!) we will post updates about the 2008 Zambia trip. We should be able to post fairly regularly, on the weekdays that we are in Lusaka. When we're on safari, we won't be able to post--unless we find an elephant with a wireless connection!

Features to explore
In the sidebar on the right side of this page, you can find two important items. One is the trip itinerary, so you can see where we are during each day of the trip. The second (at the bottom) is a set of links, where you can have a "virtual Zambia trip" along with us. There are links to our "home" in Lusaka (Pioneer Camp), the national parks we will visit on safari, and other Zambia locales.
