Best Vacation Ever Had: Going back to Africa where I grew up and where my parents still live is usually pretty epic. Last December I went from the plains of the Masai-Mara to the jungles of Rwanda to trek gorillas, to Zambia to white water-raft the Zambezi at the foot of Victoria Falls, to my parents house in South Africa for Christmas. Hard to beat that line up!
