For everyone out there that wanted to make the trek to South Africa's 2010 World Cup, but couldn't - we have a fun series of segments this week.
A few days before the games began, a good friend of mine, travel photographer Austin Mann told me that he was booking a last minute flight to South Africa to meet up with friends that had spare game tickets. I asked him to document his travels, share some of his essential equipment as a photographer, and bring us back a piece of his World Cup experience right here on Travel Talk.
We've broken it up into two episodes, so stay tuned for the second installment to see some of the games in action!

In continuation of our series on Catalina Island, we decided to settle the score on our golf skills once and for all!
