What's taking so long? What possible distractions could be hindering your progress south? Mister Gososlow,
At this rate you’ll just reach SA in time to see the World Cup on a 12″ portable, in 2014… What’s taking so long? What possible distractions could be hindering your progress south?

Congratulations on your success so far! It will be even more fun when you go to get your Guinea visa from within Dakar. There were less expensive options for shorter periods, but I think I gave them about $130 USD for over a year of unlimited entry and exit. I recall being rather uncomfortable when I was asked to leave my passport with them and come back in "a day or two." It took some time, but the man was good to his word, and gave me better than I'd asked for. The toughest part was getting through the gobs of people and getting to the right part of Dakar where the embassies are all at. Oddly enough, caucasians seem to get preferential treatment at that embassy. I was just about embarrassed to be taken to the front of the line, past people who had been waiting for a long while already. Maybe they saw the potential for more money? Ya think?:) Get ahold of me privately when you get a minute. I've a few ideas that might help raise some funds. Cheers, and safe travels! JT Hello, Peter! Congratulations on your success so far!
