Bon Voyage Jane D'oh! (or request your postcards now....)

Wednesday morning Oct 9th I start my 15 day vacation through Botswana. Actually the first two days are in Victoria Falls Zimbabwe and the next 11 are through Botswana at four different camps in different parts of the country.

My bag is packed and I have packed up to the limit - all 27 lbs of it - to last me through this. My malaria meds and anti diarehha meds are packed as well as my 100% DEET mosquito repellent.

I am suffering from this low grade excitement and I would imagine that will keep me up for the next two nights, and til I get on the plane. The 17 hour flight from Atlanta to J’berg will be where I get my sleep, I’m thinking.

Anyways, post count parties are out and well, I kinda think of my last two days at work before the vacation as window dressing, so come on in, wish me Bon Voyage, and if you’d like a postcard, flip me an e-mail before 5 pm central Tuesday October 8th and I’ll make darn sure I add you to my postcard list.

Good luck.

I’m extremely jealous :frowning:

Thanks for the wishes, but don’t be jealous…

Well, maybe just a little bit :slight_smile:

(Provided I make it back safe and sound and am not trampled by some stampeding elephants!)

Have fun! Sounds like it will be exciting. So is this trip purely for entertainment? You’re hiking are you?

This trip is only for fun. No business at all… for over two weeks… I hope I can handle it.

There will be some hiking “with an armed guard equipped with a radio” and many open air game drives. Also, some river canoe trips and power boat excursions.

Damn, Jane, have fun, and don’t let the lions bite!

:green with envy smiley:

Jane, have fun and show me all your pictures when you get home. I was supposed to go to Tanzania and Zimbabwe a few years ago until my herniated disk screwed up those plans.

Just a side note, Apples to Apples is becoming some sort of weird cult in my family. :smiley:
