Hope I didn't already miss you...I figure you must be leaving in the next 48 hours.

Have an awesome time...I have word that the two Fodorite couples at Luangwa River Lodge right now are doing very well.

Your time has FINALLY come!!!

Cheers.

Have a blast!!! Trip report and pics on your return, please........

Hari

Yay! Have fun and do not forget to take notes for all of us back here wanting to live vicariously through your trip report!!!

Have a great trip! Looking forward to hearing all about it when you return!

THANKS EVERYBODY!!! I leave on Thursday! Still a couple more sleeps to go - thankfully because I'm not quite ready! I will be sure to say a proper goodbye before I go!

Hi Cooncat,

Leaving Thursday gives you plenty of time! I wish you the very best of gameviewing, then nothing else matters!

Kind regards,
Kaye

Cooncat, we leave on Thursday too, though not anywhere quite as exotic! We're off to Islay in Scotland for a long weekend for my hub's birthday! Bon Voyage to me too!

Sharon - you'll be right on my tail, leaving the day after me. Boo-ho-hoo, we're going to different places. Know this will be a great trip for you with or without tangled hair. Safe trip and Safari njema!

Sharon - have a great time and a lovely experience. Will be thinking of you while in Botswana...

Hi Sharon -

Have a blast. Good luck with all the photography!

James

sharon (and sandi and canechick) --have a great trip.

I'm totally jealous, no trips in the near term except work related, darn!

Cooncat - I hope you can get some sleep between now and then. Have a great time and be safe!

Kavey - You and your hub have fun as well. I have fond memories of Scotland. We gave our oldest son the middle name Skye, after some great time we spent there.

sandi & Canechick (and Cooncat) - Have mercy on the homebound and let us know a little about your trips when you get back.

Kavey - No details on your trip needed, unless related to the sea air aided malting and peat (not Pete) fire smoked drying of certain grain-based products ultimately being vended as liquid refreshments. ;-)

Cooncat,
Safe and happy travels.
Enjoy and find the dogs for me!

Sherry

Sandi, Bon Voyage to you too!!! I can't keep track!!!

Favor, cool name!

Cooncat,
It seems as if I haven’t known Fodor’s without you planning your first trip to Africa. I wish you wild dogs and safari njema.
Safiri salama. (I don’t know any Bemba)

Cooncat, have a FABULOUS time and don't forget to give us a taster when you get back. Bon Voyage.

Have a wonderful trip, Sharon!

Shucks! Thanks again, everyone! I know - it does seem like I've been planning this trip for the last 10 years!

I'm sure it will be easier next time around!

Sharon,

Looks like the Wild Dogs are waiting for you!

Hopefully they stick around for a couple more weeks. Wonder if the Fodorites at Luangwa River Lodge have been lucky enough to see the wild dogs?

I'm sure you will be running on adrenalin the next few days in anticipation of a fabulous experience. Safe Journey and Enjoy!
