Ok deadbeats, let's see if y'all can beat this - I am grinning like a cat with the cream :D As part of Africa III 2009, 6th to 27th August, POTN members Dimitri, Mike and wife Andrea and me will be meeting Swazi royalty!

On 21st August, the day of your arrival at Hlane Royal National Park, King Mswati III will be visiting the Park to officially open the new restaurant and solar system. You are invited to join the King for lunch. The proceedings are expected to start at about 11am and will end early afternoon. A wonderful opportunity to meet our King and take photos!

Wow ... what a thrill for King Mswati III :cool: :lol::lol: Just joking, it'll be a huge thrill and honour for us. I am already nervous!!

So the question is ... if I am allowed one question and one question only on behalf of POTN what will it be? I think the question about having any hot wives to spare is a little inappropriate :rolleyes: So, wadda y'all think I should ask?

Hey Wow!

That's really cool, Dave.

And he's opening the Solar System??

He's not really Chuck Norris is he?

How can you go wrong with a King opening a new solar system?

Dave, I'd say to ask him if you should move from Canon to Nikon, but, ummm...

Anyway, good news Dave, it sound like you all are having a golden adventure. A couple of years ago I would have been able to sign on to a trip like this but the good old econimic crisis took its toll on lil' ol' me.

Well Tony, if you really have too many lenses to list selling a few would make it possible ;-)a
