POTN Safari around South/West Africa - we are baaack :-)

No thanksgiving dinner traditions over in this part of the world.

So how was your dinner? Was the turkey good?

Is it too late to to express interrest? I really want to go, and have the means. Any open spots? Thanks

Shame, but we are all full up this time. I reckon we could have filled the trip twice, but a small group is better for this kind of thing to ensure we all have the best experience. There may be another Africa trip at some stage; certainly I would hope at least one a year.

Maybe there could also be an India or similar trip Jan/Feb 2008? There is some fantastic wildlife to be seen there and I have mainly missed it when I have been before. Lots more too of course and a real experience of a lifetime.

Hi folks! Been away from the forum for a few days visiting the family in Michigan for Thanksgiving.

Glad to hear you're all taken care of and ready to go, Patrick! Wouldn't have been the same without you!

Hope the rest of the US contingent had a good holiday and that our friends over the big blue are doing well!

Hello all! I had a wonderful Thanksgiving. This was year 17 (I think) of a group of friends who started getting together in lieu of family that was out of town. There are six of us who have always been there and there are always others who are invited to join when we discover they have no plans. We eat ourselves silly and always go 'round the table expressing what we're grateful for that year.... and then we move on to a variety of games and laugh ourselves silly into the night. I look forward to this get together every year.

India in 2008? Not sure my finances could handle another trip that soon.... now 2009...

turkey was lovely.. for some strange reason my aunt wanted me to pay attention to the gravy preparation... she thought I could learn how to do it... (optomistic woman that she is).. but, all the children were there my cousin's two new stepkids are horrible hide and seek players so I spent about an hour pointing them in the right hiding places.. (you'd think an eight year old would know to hide in a bathtub? ).. I miss family. More and more when I go home and It's just gets icky saying goodbye to the little ones..

India would be tough for US people as is so far to go. Parts of South America could be an option. I have some friends just got bacl from Mexico and loved it. I have several South America places on my 50 things to do before I'm 50 list but can't remember which they are now.

No problem.. My employer laughed when I ask him today. It was a "you go, you're fired" kind of laugh, so maybe the India trip might work... who knows at this point.

South America holds an appeal for me.. I wouldn't be opposed to going to India.. (how much further is it really than Africa).. But, in all fairness I should probably get through this winter, Africa and my next move before I start planning another trip.. It seems i'm becoming somewhat of a gypsy... I still love the idea of Greece or Iceland though.... decisions. decisions...

when do you turn fifty?...

Actually one day I wanted to see what age the 6 of us were so noted all down. Except for Pat. His birthday or age is not in the profile.
