Today’s post is a quickie. While I was in Victoria Falls I filmed this welcome video for my About This Site page. I’m hoping it will better communicate what’ this travel blog is all about.

Remember bounce houses, couch forts and tree houses? Those were the days when we had no inhibitions. When we just did whatever we wanted to to do. Now we grow up, become adults and it suddenly becomes “uncool” or “inappropriate” to do those things anymore.

I say, forgetaboutit.

I decided to return to my childhood at The Valley of the Waves, a water park at The Palace of the Lost City Hotel in South Africa. They had these giant inflatable hamster balls. Take a look in this YouTube video.

With the official start of our blogging assignment underway, we took an opportunity to provide some background on who we were to hopefully attract more voters who may have just started to follow the competition. A family photo album was the medium.

Hey Explorers,

Archive: Our Packing Essentials

From the Ultimate Thailand Explorers Pattaya Blog Archive [originally published 5 December 2009].

In an effort to reach out to new voters and new ways of promotion, I partnered with my friend Kyle Berner, CEO of Feelgoodz Flip Flops. His sells flip flops made in Thailand. We bought some, packed them in our suitcase and brought them with us. We promoted him, he promoted us. I don’t know how many voters or press that got us, but his flops are really comfortable. You should definitely check them out!
