Gatgordo-are you flying Air Namibia? My wife and I are on Air Namibia FRA-WDH on 2 June.

oops- that was 22 June, not 2 June

Mrfudd:

Yep, apparently we'll be on the same flight, although I'd have to go back and find the number, no tickets yet. I'm taking my 14 yr old son for his first trip to Africa. I'll buy you a drink or whatever.

We haven't got our tix yet either. I expect to get them in a few weeks from Gracy. Your son is both lucky and cursed. Lucky to experience Africa at such a young age. Cursed because he will probably go broke trying to go back every year!
