Well folks, I have finally got the blog up in running thanks to Sandra Martin. I hope her family isnt stuck in South Africa still. We just completed the First board meeting of 2010 in South Africa and the hosts were amazing. The South African Police Services provided a wonderful place to stay and wonderful outings to see the beauty of South Africa. I will attach my pictures soon so keep up with me. :-)
