Dave & I decided to embark on a new adventure to Ghana, Africa, about 10 days ago. We'd been wanted to go for a while but couldn't find the right "window". One day the cards fell correctly for our flight tickets to be purchased. We called both our mothers to ask them if they thought they'ed miss us too much over xmas if we went. Neither of them seemed overly bothered so we went ahead with our plans.
The cheapest hotel we found for our first few days in Accra is a place called "The Lemon Lodge". Because the name & dingy description in The Lonely Planet makes us laugh we lean towards this place more than the others. Online we found very little about it save "the pink-walled Lemon Lodge (2nd Mango Tree Avenue; 21/227-857) is not nearly as bad as its name may imply". So after giving the Ghana consulate in NYC some other fake hotel reservations (we need to give them these as references in Ghana for some reason) we were able to pick up our visas with no problems.
Now we just need to get our anti malaria pills & we are set.
PS-all the dates on this "diary" are messed up as I kind of worked backwards. But we spend just under a month in all in this incredible country.
