Started packing a month ago, went to the doc for a Malerone scrip Saturday, shot tin cans with the .458 last Sunday, got my shots yesterday, .375 went to the 'smith for a tuneup today. Maybe I'll do 4457s at lunch tomorrow.......
I'm not ready yet, but I COULD BE in 5 minutes.

37 days until touchdown in Windhoek, Namibia. Starting final preps and packing/re-packing now. What does that X-Mas song say? "making a list, and checking it twice---".

20 days before I step off the plane in RSA then off to Botswana the next day. In the final strech now, just have to review everything and not leave anything important behind.

I'll be back in the Zambezi Valley on 17 May so just on 62 +/- days for leopard/ele with Brent Leesmay and Chifuti Safaris.

Into my heart on air that kills From yon far country blows: What are those blue remembered hills, What spires, what farms are those? That is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain, The happy highways where I went And cannot come again.
