“Road trippin’ with my two favorite allies
Fully loaded we got snacks and supplies
It’s time to leave this town
It’s time to steal away
Let’s go get lost
Anywhere in the USA”

A few weeks ago, Isaac, Belinda and I were the only ones left in the office.  6pm on a Friday night.  Not a big surprise.

Isaac came over and perched on my desk with a big grin.

I: “What are you doing this weekend?”

Me: “mmm… nothing.  What’d you have in mind?”

I: “Do you want to go see Cape Coast?  I promised Belinda we would go.”

Me: “Sure!  What is it?”

With promises of canopy walks 50 meters above the ground between ancient trees in a rainforest, visits to old slave castles, lunch with Belinda’s family and a roadtrip, I was sold.  Tamara, another colleague joined us.

So the next morning, bright and early, we set off; tunes blazing, with some snacks, some water and a lot of laughter.

A road trip with new friends; it was a going to be a good weekend.

(flat tires were not part of the deal, but added to the excitement)
