22 more sleeps until Kenya...

...which makes 30 more sleeps before turning 50 a little more bearable. ;-)

June 2 Nairobi
June 3-5 Lewa Safari
June 6-8 Saruni Samburu
June 9-12 Bateleur
June 13 Nairobi
June 14 homeward bound

Can't wait! Am stressing over packing weight for the first time in 3 trips only because I have seriously upgraded my camera equipment (new body and 3 new L lenses.) I think my Lowpro roller will be about 20 lbs alone(and I hope I can get it all in and there are no hassles taking it on board!) Oh well, if I can only pack one set of clothes, so be it.
Has anyone had issues taking a monopod onboard? flying business...

I have recently started a blog about my nature photography antics and am hoping to have some access to post updates from the bush. You can take a peek here: www.njwight.tumblr.com

Can't wait and thanks again to all those who helped me sort it out last winter.

Anticipation is the sweetest part of the trip (well almost)!

Where are you staying in NBO.
I'm at House of Waine 1/nt and Palacina Suites the 2nd nt.
Believe we'll meet up at Lewa and Saruni/Kalama.
Whoopie!
A Fodorite GTG!

Too funny! Well, you and Patty helped me pick those 2 spots.
Actually at Holiday Inn for arrival then House of Waine the 13th and room until 8pm the 14th.
If you are at Saruni on the 8th you can help me ease into 50!

21 more sleeps...

Looking closer at my itinerary, which is all so new right now, it seems I'll be at Lewa on the 4th, then Saruni on the 5th... so we'll party on the 4th.

When we get to the point in life where we say "50" one day earlier or later, doesn't make much difference.

We've made it and that is all that matters.
