Leaving on the redeye out of LAX tomorrow night arriving in Bulawayo Tuesday afternoon to hunt with Martin Petiers (maybe) in the Omay South. I'll be wearing an Accurate Reloading ballcap so if you see me at LAX, JFK, Jo'burg or Bulawayo's airports come up and say "Hi". It's my second trip to Africa but my first to Zim and my first DG hunt. I've got the gun and ammo packed and there's no way I'll sleep tonight!

Good luck and tell Martin I said Hello!!! If you stay at the Chifudze camp ask Ian (apprentice hunter) to tell the story of the duiker he killed. Guaranteed to be entertaining. | |||

Good hunting Frank! I wish you luck on a big buffalo! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||

Morning all. I was up at 05:30 this morning after three hours of sleep. Karl, I think that I get in about 10 AM there at OR Tambo but I only have about 2 hours before my fight to Bulawayo (I'm glad that my luggage is checked directly through.) I'll see if my phone works though and try to call you. Frank "I don't know what there is about buffalo that frightens me so.....He looks like he hates you personally.

OK folks, talk to you all in a couple of weeks. I just picked up the rental car to drive to LAX and the lady behind the Avis counter gave me a free upgrade to a Lincoln Towncar. She said if I was going all the way to Africa I should arrive at the airport in style. It's a great way to start the trip!

I'm at JFK waiting to check in at South African Airlines. Smoking a cigar and drinking a cup of coffee.
