Africa here we come!

Only 10 days until departure.  Managed to sneak in a great day of powder skiing at Monarch Ski Area- may get one more ski day in before departure and hopefully a few more flights in my gyroplane before we leave.  For the longest time it seemed the trip was at some distant point in the future and there was no hurry to pin things down, then suddenly it is only days away and there is plenty to do.  The best thing to happen was finding and buying a vehicle over the internet.  A bit risky but we are dealing with a very reputable company so I think things should go OK.  We just sent them a large deposit today but having a fully rigged out 4WD waiting for us when we arrive will save us maybe two weeks so we can see more of Africa.  The vehicle is in Johannesburg and our airplane reservations, lodging and rental car had been made to Cape Town so Dee has been busy changing those.
