Sitting at the airport in Dubai waiting for my flight to Harare. Then three weeks in the bush. Life just doesn't get much better than this.

Good hunting. wave

Correct bullet placement, combined with the required depth of bullet penetration, results in an anchored animal...

Houston to Dubai, Dubai to Harare. So far I am liking this route. Emirates is great in terms of service. Get to Dubai around 7:00 p.m. then off to the hotel for a nap, shower and shave. Then back to the airport for the Harare flight. The Dubai airport is very nice although it is big. I was able to navigate getting in and out without problems. Much better than connecting at Dulles, stopping in Dakar, connecting in Jo'burg.

Go get 'em Mike..


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.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Mike, how about traveling with guns on this route? Any hassle?
19 August 2012, 08:41
MJines
Well the last time I saw my guns was in Houston. You check them all the way through to Harare and do not claim them in Dubai. We will see whether they show up in Harare. Shouldn't be a problem. Checking them in in Houston was a piece of cake.

You get a firearms permit through Emirates for Dubai. I was never asked to produce the permit. I think it is just registered on the electronic records.

What time do you leave Houston? How long is the Dubai layover? What time do you arrive in Harare??

Mr Jines,

If Japie still runs Pedza, please bring him some magazines to read so he can keep his mind from his chinese incident.

I know he will appreciate it. I guess his satelite tv hasnt arrived yet....

And please say hi from Odin.

Oh... Good hunting.
