    Well Clutchfans, it's that time. The bobmarley family has been preparing for this for quite some time. We are now one month away from moving to Kenya, East Africa. We will be there until early 2017, and again returning to go back to Kenya for another 3 years in mid 2017. We will be living in the city of Malindi, and I will be working all around the area, training Christian leaders.


    I learned about Clutchfans in high school and started lurking around in late 1999. In 2001 I created my first handle, DaryleWard. And in 2003 changed it bobmarley. I won't be on CF as much anymore, but I will always call many of you my Rockets family, even my friends in the D&D. ;)

    You guys have fun and Go Rockets!

    I was hoping we were going to hook up before you headed out. Are you still showing up on Saturday with your family?

    We are trying to.. Lots to finish up.

    We are as ready as we ever will be. Right now we are just finishing up packing, selling, donating, and storing our things.

    BTW, there has never been a case of EBOLA in Kenya to the person who left me the rep that said to invest in a hazmat suit. :grin:

    That wouldn't have been me. People around here can be so stupid and small minded sometimes.

    I hope and pray for all of the best for You and Yours! :)

    Good luck and enjoy. That's one hell of a country to view nature. Part of me is so jealous, but all of me is hoping you stay safe. :)

    Ahh yes, SamFisher. He did a good job telling that fib for a while.

    He was just mad because he thought I was lying that I had voted for Obama in 08 and decided not to in 2012. He has a hard time dealing with people who believe different than him. :grin:

    There's no ebola in East Africa

    The scenery and wildlife around there will be amazing

    When people say they are "moving across the pond", they mean moving to England or Europe.

    Enjoy!

    I have been to Kenya several times. I love it. We are about 4 hours from Tsavo East where the movie "Ghost in The Darkness" is based off of. I have been there three times.

    Moving across the pond is usually associated with Europe because it is usually said by either Europeans or Americans. It means moving across an ocean, which I am doing.

    Thanks!

    Have a great time, stay safe - and post some photos from Kenya on this thread, perhaps?

    You are moving to a better area. Enjoy the nature and great move. Sometimes you have to hit the reset button so you don't go nuts.
