Hey thanks LOL, I kind of knew you were not- but maybe you should have been, who knows?..no matter - When I do return and write my trip report - I'm pretty wordy as you can see - you can comment(and perhaps reveal yourself)

I do know for a fact that the wonderful, (and I mean all) KENYA tour operators I contacted were warm, friendly, accommodating and at times very funny. Unfortunately only one can do the deal and I hated having to chose.

On the other hand, I give all names out to others who ask in the event they would like to have such a pleasant experience (well maybe ONE exception, but I am hoping it was just a slip of the tongue and I happened to find out)planning a trip to Kenya.

I will gladly submit my plans and how they came to be when all the i's are dotted!
Again, between this forum and the great TO's who obviously love their country and enjoy planning and logistics, I was able to put together the trip of my dreams.

I Can't Wait!

One person's devil is another's clown.

Those aren't horns, it's hair.

In my book, clowns ARE devils. Hate them. Scary.

Anyhoo, I'm glad you have some sense of humor LOL, because based on your first posts you seem disdainful of consumers and I'm glad you're not my TO.

Right ATLynn, LOL has said he wants us to enjoy our planning and safari experiences, so let's give him/her benefit of doubt.

No clowning around

I'd say LOL but i wouldn't want to confuse anyone with the poster LOL, so instead i'll write this thread is getting very funny. Really like all those little symbols.

Tom, you forgot other important animals like:

Cooncat
Alien (friendly)
Alien (ambiguously intentioned)
3 Cow (moo)
Trixie
Monkey (or is this a chimp?)
Michael Myers
8-X Reaper (grim)
Fodorite

Regards,

Twaffle,

I think smileys are more like Abstract art. For example, this is a photographic representation of Trixie:

Her smiley counterpart:


I could go on (and on) but not everyone finds deep beauty and meaning in smileys. Pity.

Not everyone is discerning, obviously! I can see the resemblance. Trixie is more beautiful though.
