"I speak of Africa and golden joys; the joy of wandering through lonely lands; the joy of hunting the mighty and terrible lords of the wilderness, the cunning, the wary and the grim."

| 28 days and I'm on a plane for Frankurt/Windhoek, on the ground in Namibia on the 30th. It's the HS Precision .270WSM and a Ruger #1 in 9.3 X 74R for firepower on this trip. Received pics from my PH and the Erongos are a green paradise compared to last year's dry, dusty and brown surroundings.

| I have a hard time feeling sorry for any of you since I won't be back until '09 but it's Caprivi Strip for ele, which makes up for the wait...about 475 days if anyone cares. I would be interested to hear more from anyone booking the Frankfurt to Windhoek travel. I'm seriously considering that myself from DFW in July '09. _______________________________  |

| 108 days till I head to the Caprivi to sort out an elephant with Vaughn Fultan Safaris. Then about a month of bowhunting a bit farther south at Makalaan.
We seldom get to choose
But I've seen them go both ways
And I would rather go out in a blaze of glory
Than to slowly rot away!

| I just flew SAA Jo'burg to Dulles a week ago. Food and service are fine - it's the long flight that is an ordeal. If I could have slept throughout the flight it would have been better. Namibiahunter  . |
