Welcome

Here it is, we are twenty something days from the start of a new football WORLD CUP. This time is going to be in SouthAfrica, year 2010. This time around I really did not think we were going to to go due to a few personal family problems. Also, Aimee and I were/are concern about the security in South Africa in regards to our beautiful daughter. There has been a lot of news throughout the years about the security of SouthAfrica being simply bad, corrupted and bottom line horrible.

Yet, the thought process of us deciding to go was that if FIFA is comfortable enough to allow fans to travel to SouthAfrica, then it is probably safe and worth going. I clearly remember FIFA or CONMEBOL canceling a Copa America in Colombia due to security somewhere in the 90s. Therefore, I believe if there was a security concern to FIFA, they would have stopped the event in this country. Also, this time around we are traveling with a different mood. We are going to be doing lots  of TOURS to make sure we are not wondering on the streets lost looking for something. This is definitely different as how we have traveled in the past but we feel it is a safer travel approach.

Anyhow, this will be the third world cup that Aimee and I travel together to. We went to Japan/SouthKorea in 2002. Then, we went to Germany 2006 (you can read from our experience in Germany here, notes and pics). Now, we are all set to travel to SouthAfrica for our third world cup together.

We are going to be using this site to capture our little moments on this new adventure. There will be notes, pictures and whatever comes to mind.

We want to share this experience with all of our friends and family members, so stay in touch and you are welcome to come back as much as you want.

More to come soon...
