My First Trip to Africa

Steve Sappington

On Friday, October 21, 2011, I boarded a plane in Waco, Texas. About 26 hours later, after stops in Dallas-Fort Worth, Chicago, Brussels, and Banjul, I arrived in Conakry, Guinea West Africa. I arrived back in Waco on Wednesday evening November 2nd.

Conakry has a population of close to 2 million people, most of whom seemed to be walking, driving, or otherwise occupying the streets whenever my hosts drove me around town. If any of you have taken a cab ride in New York, you can begin to have a small sense of what traffic is like in Guinea. (For additional photos and videos, email me at ssappington@gmail.com, and I will send you a link. You will need VLC or another Media Player to watch the videos.).

An Accidental Day at the Bottom of the World

Michael Cobb

As our plane descended through the low clouds into the southernmost town in the world, Ushuaia, Argentina, the view of the snow-capped mountains, the quaint town, and the harbor was fantastic. I quickly noticed, however, that the 11-story cruise ship MS Veendam was not docked, and a bit of concern coursed through my veins.

Two days earlier I had departed Managua, Nicaragua with my 6-old-daughter, Emily, to meet the boat mid-trip and sail the second half of the cruise up the coast of Chile. The prospect of missing the boat was serious for two reasons. The first, I would miss my speaking engagement, and two, my daughter would be crushed. I was here for work, but she was here to see the penguins.

Testimonials

DUDE, you just saved me BIG TIME!!! THANK YOU!
I filed that form TD F 90-22.1 at the end of Jan 2014 thinking I took care of my filing obligation for 2013, and I did it with 5 months to spare. Then I get YOUR e-mail and say to myself, "What is this guy taking about?" Turns out after some reading, you were spot on and as far as IRS/FINC is concerned, I have not filed yet and it is almost middle of June? WOW! This fine is like up to $10,000 if it was an honest mistake. Anyway, you can send me a e-mail ANYTIME YOU LIKE!
Thanks again guy!
