Your questions answered!

Thought I'd answer the most common questions once and for all!
Why Kenya?
The language is primarily English, and the sign language similar to ASL. So hopefully we will be able to communicate and be useful right away, a very important factor for us. I have dreamed of visiting Africa for years, but being that neither of us fare too well in scorching heat, we weren't sure that was an option. Once we did a little research though, we found Kenya's temperature will be enjoyable. Other factors were: needing reliable access to internet, and manageable cost of living. We also have a most helpful friend who spent 8 years in Kenya, who from the outset recommended Kenya to us. We wrote to a few countries, and Kenya is the decision.
What do your parents think?
They are really happy for us and have been behind us every step! They have been really supportive, we really appreciate them!!!!!!
Why January?
Well, we will already be in England in Dec to visit Jo's family, so cost-wise it was the best time to go, just a short skip (well, 8 hr flight) and we'll be in Nairobi.
Where will you be in Kenya?
We will be in the city of Nakuru, about 160km N/NW of Nairobi. We also plan to visit Uganda and Rwanda if possible, still in planning phases.
