I've been quoted!
Just got an email from Amy. I've been quoted in "The Complete African Safari Planner". WooHoo! Now that I'm a "publisher author" I may have to charge y'all for my advice.

I, too, received the fabulous news from Amy. Not only do I get a free guidebook, but I have already sold the film rights to my quote.

It appears as if the group of us produced a whole chapter. I agree we need a trip for inspiration/material for the next guide.

The cite was noted in the third paragraph of Amy's email to me. If you weren't advised of the quote maybe a note to Amy would get you your answer.

Yep, I got quoted again (was also in the first edition.) It's a nice way to get Fodor's latest Safari Planner book.
