when will i get to the African continent?

So I saw Charlie online the other day and he gave me the link to his site. I would have checked it out much earlier if i knew that he had some nice photos in it. Yeah... it so happens that my family decided to have a nice time in Cape Town without me. Oh wait... this isn't the first time it happened either :p
So I finally saw photos of their vacation in South Africa. Now when will I be able to get there. It won't be a possibility this year though as I've got other plans...
