Not sure where to post this but we are stuck in Harare today due to Deltas innept baggage handlers. No reason why they would not have left the US but they did. Anyway, we are at the SOAZ guest house I guess (Sally Browns) and have F-all to do today. Going to the airport at noon to check one rifle case and then the best mine will do is tonight. Anyone around, Buzz, Myles, etc. look us up. My mobile does not work here but I have my sat phone and can call you. Thanks, Larry York, SC | ||

Larry, it is still Saturday here. You are already ahead of us. Good luck on the baggage-been there in 'Bulawayo and Joberg. At least you are in Africa. Tom ...I say that hunters go into Paradise when they die, and live in this world more joyfully than any other men. -Edward, duke of York ". . . when a man has shot an elephant his life is full." ~John Alfred Jordan "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand Cogito ergo venor- KPete “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest.

Thanks Tom. What is unbelievable is all the people reaching out. We are at Sally Browns guest house (SOAZ) and just waiting it out. I have talked to several PH's already in the area and as it is Sunday most are planned which I understand. I still would buy a load of brews if anyone were around. What is unbelievable is the support offered by Buzz, Miles, Butch Coatan, Giles our pilot which many of you know I guess. We are all working to make a plan as they say should we need to but it feels good to at least know some friends here. Larry York, SC | |||

Been there, done that. Not fun. Sorry brother. Giles is well connected in these matters. He handled my missing bags in 2011. Good luck. | |||

Glad to hear things are working out. Giles has gotten me out of some sticky issues in the past, as in when my Visa expired before I left this year! He is the best - buy him a drink for me and I will buy you several in Dallas! Please tell Giles "hello" from one of the "Dagga Boys" who hunts with Mike Payne. | |||
