Thinking Vacation?
Try Africa For Once
As winter’s horrid cold takes
hold o f this part o f the world. I am
sure many o f you are thinking o f
jetting out to the warm embrace o f
the Caribbean islands. But wait a
minute, why not Africa? Tell me
where in the world would you go for
a real vacation if not Africa, espe­
cially when you are o f Africa de­
scent.
M ake no bones about this,
A frica has the real tro p ic a l c li­
m ate or if you m ay, the ethnic
w eather th at is m ade n atu rally
for the black skin. It tones your
golden black skin lu strously to a

th in k th e C a rib b e a n w e a th e r

it. A in ’t n o thing like A frica. B e­

o f calo ries. I t’s the best place to
w atch w eight. T rust me.
It’s am azing, how w hite folks
th ro n g to the A frica c o n tin e n t to
share part o f its beauty. W ell over
60 p ercent o f to u rists th at visit
are w hite. T hese folks realize that
the en v ironm ental p u rity o f A fri­
ca is second to none. T hey are
ready to pay, to stay and holiday.
I t’s unfortunate black folks a re n ’t
tak in g advantage o f this o p p o r­
tunity.
Perhaps, you are scared o f the
events that are taking place in some
part o f Africa, or perhaps you’ve
been told that con men prowl the
streets o f Africa in search o f some­
one to con. But I tell you this, there is
nothing happening in Africa that is
not happening elsewhere in the world,
including the Caribbean. Even in the
United Statestourists are being killed
in Florida, New York and Miami.
Who says Africa is worse? It’s not. It
depends on where you go.
Go into the land o f your forefa­
thers. Take a trip to Tripoli. Visit the
dams in Dahomey. Go into animal
reserves in Zaire. Zoom to Zimba­
bwe and survey Senegal, spend some
nights in N igeria’s exotic beaches
and resorts. You will find peace and
comfort, then you’ll know what 1
mean. Happy holiday.
