Micato Stanley Wing - Sept 2007 - Trip Report
We made it! So many people have said you can't describe a trip to Africa and do it justice, and they are right. But I'm going to try! In a few days I'll start posting my report (noledawg.blogspot.com). In the mean time, thank you again to everyone who provided such awesome advice. (And yes, I can't wait to go back.)

Welcome back Joe!
I have just returned a few hrs back from parent-visiting in Manitoba and have been catching up on the threads on Fodors!
I just read your other thread about Renny, that's so cool you had him too! He's incredible! (it's Bwana Jim though, not Bwana Bob - or Inspector Gadget to some...!
Something tells me I am spelling Bwana wrong...
Can't wait to read your blog!

Nope, he wasn't on safari, but you can always find him on warm clothes.

Wonderful reading, Joe, keep it coming!
One of our gifts was the notebook also - we all used it to pass around to each other to write our names and addresses and comments in for each couple. I plan to keep it to use it for that same purpose each time we go on safari. By the end of the book I will have tons of memories, names and addresses of fellow safari goers!

Joe, you bring back some great memories! Amboseli was a good read, lots of great details. And you speak of such truths - we really are all blessed to have experieinced Africa, as it really is a dream come true. I still can't believe I have been lucky enough to visit Africa three times!
I'm not usually so forward, but I am a naturally curous person - I notice Betsy referred to you as Josey, and now I can't help but wonder male or female? Not that it matters, but just curious?

I agree with you that the wild canines are a delight.
For a split second I thought there was an opportunity to swim with monkeys. I was ready to pack my wetsuit.
The key jingling by the other guide is reprehensible!

Lynda,
Josey is my nickname. Normally Joe. (OK, that doesn't help.)
Male.
Yes, swimming with the monkeys would be out of sight.
Work is taking so much of my time, it takes me forever to get to my next post, but it's coming up.

Thanks Joe! A good installment, brought back floods of memory - and Steven, he was our driver too! He was fabulous.
It made me smile what you wrote about Renny, he is such a great guy, I miss him! He was lots of fun to be with.
And I loved the crayon story on the birds - never thought of it that way!
