Have you seen this video? You may have to cut and paste.

Hi msdoliz,
This has been posted a few times on fodors. It is amazing to watch, almost unbelievable :-) What a privilege for those who were there and a privilege for us to share in that.

msdotliz - did you just return to earth? How was your trip to outer space? Oh, I see you hang around the "Fodorite Lounge" a lot, bunch of space cadets in there, are there? Sorry for the sarcasm, sometimes I just can't help myself >:-) - NOT
This video has been mentioned here about four times over the past several months and shown on national TV (USA).
I might add, that two weeks from tomorrow I will be in Kruger, yes indeed. And my plan is to take the same lion buffalo crocodile scene but with this time a hyena pack joins in. I hope the buffalo calf still survives. If this action doesn't happen for me, I'll settle for an elephant eating some plant.

Slightly harsh Tom, though if you do get to video a similar scenario make sure fodors gets the exclusive.

Have a great trip (and I hope you don't run into too many honeymooning couples this time :-))

Ack, mancfi, don't remind me, honeymooning/newlywed couples, the curse of game drives !!!!!!
I know a little harsh, sorry ms dotliz, my self control is lacking today.
And mancfi thanks for the bon voyage, I'm sure it will all be fun. Kruger, Kings Camp, MalaMala.

You must visit the lounge as well Tom to know that I post there.

I am new to these boards, but so far everyone seems OK to me.

Welcome msdotliz. Why did I mention the "Lounge"? Well, since your name was new to me here I clicked on it and up comes all your postings for Fodors. Most of yours being in the Lounge. Nothing wrong with that, looks like a good place for general discussion. But I haven't been back to the Lounge since then. How are things in there?

Yes, most everyone here on the Africa & middle east forum are nice folks. But, I may be the exception :-)

BTW, I've been trying to decode your name "msdotliz". Does it have any hidden meaning? Mine doesn't, "cary999" it's an old anonymous name I use here and there. Actually, the "cary" part does have meaning, it is the name of the first dog I had. The "999" is something I had to add to make it different from all the other carys.

Anyway - CU on Fodors (but not in the Lounge :-) )

regards - tom
ps - Tom is my real name. My last name is Graham and I am an heir to the Graham cracker food product fortune. (You know graham crackers, yes?) However, there is nothing left but CRUMBS :-d

Hi Tom

Please tell me you'll be shooting RAW this time. ;-) ;-) ;-)
I'll be off in 2 weeks time as well, SLNP, Zambia :-P :-P :-P
Have a good time, and we'll compare pics & reports on our return. :-)
Cheers
Marc

<<BTW, I've been trying to decode your name "msdotliz". Does it have any hidden meaning?>>


No hidden meaning. I post on some other boards and my nick was ms.liz. One of the other posters started typing msDOTliz, and it kinda stuck.

I actually starting posting on the cruise boards first and then some of the other ones before I discovered the lounge. Everyone on these boards seem pretty nice and don't bash people like they do on other boards.

Have a good trip. I hope to get to Africa one of these days.

Marc -I don't shoot RAW, I shoot light :-)
Have a great safari in Zambia. I've been there twice, 2005 and 2006, to Robin Pope camps Nsefu and Tena Tena.

regards - tom
ps - RAW, maybe
