Emmy and I will be flying Delta 200 on July 19th to JNB, spending the night at Afton House and then flying up to Vic Falls on the 21st on SA 40 at 10:45 a.m.

We're coming back on Aug 2nd on SA 41 to JNB and then DL 201 that night to ATL.

If anyone is going on DL 200 on Tuesday evening, I have a Sky Club card that allows a guest or two and would be glad to have you join us. Free drinks and a bit more comfortable than regular lounges. Or anyone at Afton for the night of the 20th? P.M. me if you'd like to meet at either place.

I know that Ed (Die Ou Jagter) will be arriving on SAA right after we get there and I'm looking forward to seeing him at the wonderful SAPS room. I know his influence will get me first in line.

Alas, I just checked the seating charts and it indicates it will be a full plane (in Economy, anyway) ATL-JNB with the attendant harried cabin crew, slow service, etc. I've been spoiled flying so many times on partially empty a/c and have several times had a whole row of four seats on which to make a bed. Not this time! I had plenty of FF points to go Business, but I used them to get Emmy a ticket. Hummmm? A reclining bed for a few hours or a daughter for a hunting partner. No choice there!

But, what the heck is a little discomfort when two days afterwards, I'll be chasing elephants with my daughter and my buddy Lou Hallamore?

Can't wait!!!!

Ernest, of course I will use all of my influence to get you in first in line behind me, well second behind behind me Emmy will be first , eh well in reality I will probably be at the end of the line. . Man the days are going by slower, and then they will go by fast. See you in Joberg!

Hey Judge, I will be returning thru JNB on August 2nd from my trip with Buzz. I'll be arriving about the same time as you and Emmy - I'll be on SA23 from HRE and have about 5hrs to kill before my flight.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for y'all. We should all have some stories to share by then!

What flight back to the states. I have a card to get into the Air France club if you want to join us?

See you in a week!

See you Wed., leaving the office now for Pittsburgh, overnight and then to Dullas and on to Joberg.

Sorry to be off topic, but how can you check and see if your plane is full?

JudgeG,

Wish we were going. Tell Zwe we said hello.
