Dennis have a great trip and bon voyage,
we must do a trip together sometime, Sonali.

Aloha, Dennis. Have a wonderful, safe trip. Try not to drink any shower water this time. :)

I can't wait to hear all about it when you return.

Oh, I almost forgot: have a fantastic birthday. 26 this year, is it?

Aloha. Be careful when you shower – elephants are very sensitive animals! ;) Safari njema.

Bon Voyage, Dennis! Don't forget the bean bag! :-D

Dennis, have a great trip! With two trips to Zambia in less than one year, I think you can qualify as the Zambian Honorary Consul on the big island.

Have a wonderful trip, Dennis!

Hey, Dennis - It's great that you are taking your second trip so soon. My trips were Jul, Aug, Sept & Oct so they were all 13 mths apart and that's a long time to wait.

Without a doubt you'll be having a great birthday! Have a great trip!

Man o man, Dennis, you've got a rough life. Leaving paradise and going to paradise. Have a great trip!

Mr. Speedy is on his away again.
That's so great.
Have a wonderful trip.

Have a great trip.I wish i could go away again in a few months so needless to say i'm pretty jealous.

Enjoy!

Hey Dennis,
Just got back and hope you get my best trip wishes before you depart. I look very forward to hearing about the green season in Zambia.
Have a wonderful time.
Sherry

Dennis,
Looking forward to seeing you on Friday.
Looks like it could be a lively little GTG as I think Julian may be able to join us too!

Dennis:
Sorry if this is too late for you to see before your departure, I have been of-line for a few days.

Have a great trip. It will be interesting to see what a difference the time of year makes--and your memory of the first trip will be fresh.

I just saw your post to sonali that you leave at 7am Hawaii time so since I am east coast time I am getting in under the wire--let me add Happy Birthday also--how great to be spending it at Luanga River Lodge.

Thanks for all the well wishes! Just waiting for my ride to the airport and I'm off! Leely, slightly more than 26, but who's counting! Bat, yes it should be a great birthday! Kavey, see ya Friday! Thanks again everybody!
Alooooooooooha! :) :) :)

Hope you got my e-mail.... if not, happy, happy birthday and ... here's hoping the leopards will be there to help you celebrate!
