LRH270137 to "African soil" at the Joberg airport, 138 to the Sea Cliff, 139 to a sundowner at Kigosi.
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.

Blank37 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.

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.

Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

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.
