I'm finally off. This trip has been booked for over a year. My first trip to Africa is finally here. Leaving Charleston tomorrow afternoon for Atlanta and then on to Johannesburg and Harare.

Thanks to those who pointed me in the direction of CMS when this trip was in its planning stages. I'll be after buff, lioness, and leopard. The only downside is missing my 7 yr old son for 2 weeks... thank God for sat phones.

Not sure how much sleep I'll get tonight. Wish me luck.

Buzz and the gang are superb and you will have the hunt of a lifetitme. Good luck, great hunting and enjoy!


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.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Have a great trip!!! I have been told that the trip goes way to fast, so enjoy every minute. I leave for my first trip with CMS on Sept 19, and already am having trouble focusing during the day and sleeping at night.
