How to visit Africa
How I did it: I visited Ethiopia while adopting my daughter. I spent a month, though had only planned on 8-10 days. It was amazing, and I cannot wait to go back. The people are wonderful, resourcesful and kind. I must confess, I was truly shocked at the reach of the AIDS epidemic. It wasn't my intention to go there to learn about AIDS, but now I am especially working hard to find families and resources for the AIDS orphans left in Africa.
Lessons & tips: Travel with someone who is experienced.
Learn history, culture and etiquette before traveling. This is critical!
Give back to those who give to you.
Resources: There's a great book called "Lonely Planet's Guide to Ethiopia." It was a wonderful resource.
