How I did it: I bit the bullet and pulled out my VISA card while on a safari in the Serengeti for a sunrise baloon ride. VERY expensive, but I am very happy that I decided to have this once in a lifetime experience. We spent more than an hour floating over the park, looking down at hippos, elephants, tree tops with birds, monkeys and baboons in them, three lions in the distance and plenty of other animals. It was incredibly peacef… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I booked a couple of nights in Stonetown on the internet, then walked around and found the place for me once I arrived.

How I did it: I was feeling lost, and realized that I had gotten far enough into my old 5 year plan that it wasn't working anymore. I worked out what I wanted for myself in several different categories, then broke it down into 1 month, 2 month, 6 month, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, and 5 year goals.
