Ya I looked at all that area when I was planning my honeymoon.

Vic Falls seemed like a PITA to get to if you aren't flying from South Africa, so you have to get there first and of course, as you know, the aviation schedules did not appear to be ideal in Africa.

Giraffe Manor in Kenya would be awesome too.

I don't deal with SLS much. I do know we had one girl from Bosnia working here. She was on my old rig. Not sure if she's part of your crew but she is really good.

I haven't worked there before but many of my co-workers have and they all tell me that it's worse than here.

Did you end up going to East Africa? I haven't been on the East Coast yet. Just West and South.

I worked with her on the Maersk Endurer but she may be part of the Aurora crew.

No, going to Thailand and Cambodia this December.

My wife wants to save Africa for kids. I don't want to save anything as I'm overly concerned I'll die tomorrow.

Africa and South America are in the top 2 now next up. Peru eing the choice there. I have a want to see the wonders

If you survive Thailand and Cambodia add Namibia to your list. I really liked it. I was planning to move there this year and fly back and forth but my company moved me here instead.

How long have you been there? Can you do me a favor and go tell someone in Global Asset Management I need some equipment?
