Well, we have spent our last full day in Africa and it has been a great vacation. I’m excited to come home to see some family and friends and relax a little in my home. Overall, things have gone quite well for me here and I appreciate all of the thoughts and prayers that have been offered on my behalf. I’m quite happy for having achieved my goal of visiting all seven continents on one passport. Today I rode in a helicopter over Victoria Falls, although it is not quite the wet season the Falls are still spectacular and I can only imagine how they must look during high water season. Tonight all eight of us rode on a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River immediately above the Falls and saw a few more hippos and even some elephants crossing the river. This is truly a remarkable area. I’d like to thank Gavin for all of the work and time he has put into this blog. I’ve really enjoyed reading all of the comments people have offered, and it has proven to be a great means of keeping everybody updated on the trip and my condition. I know I have been truly blessed in being able to do this trip. I am very thankful!
See you all in SLC! Levi.

Victoria Falls sounds wonderful.
Holy Cow! I can't believe that I am actually the first one to blog! Me, who is at least 2 hours behind everyone else. I feel honored! I'm so glad that you had such an incredible journey. It is truly amazing to see the wilds of Africa from your point of view. This earth is truly a miracle, and it is evident everywhere we go. Thank you so much for sharing this experience with all of us who couldn't go with you personally. I know that those who are with you in person feel very blessed to have shared this experience with you, too. You are truly AWESOME!! I have you have a safe trip back, and I hope to see you somewhere in the near future. I love you!!!

Can't think of appropriate words to say. Just thank you for sharing your trip with us. We have had an uplifting experience following your blog. So glad you were able to visit Africa as well as the other six continents. We look forward to seeing your Mom's thousands of pictures. Will probably have to take a month's vacation to do so. We love you Levi! Have a safe and wonderful trip home. Weldon and Linda
Saint Gavin (as you are now affectionately known in the hearts of all of us devoted levistrong blog readers), you will all no doubt be exhausted when you arrive in Salt Lake City.
Is is possible to post an arrival update on the blog, even a short one, so we can know you all arrived back home safe and sound?
An appreciative daily reader.
I'm so jealous of that helicopter ride, Levi! I've never even been on one, let alone one over Victoria Falls!!!
The sunset cruise on the Zambezi River sounds amazing. It reminds me of that little boat ride we took when we were in Paris in 1998. I can't remember if we were allowed alcohol on that trip, but it looks like you were properly celebrating there! (Please tell me it's not sparkling cider! haha)
