How about you people? Took a couple boat trips on my latest vacation.
Best
trips were the Chobe River game viewing from Chobe Safari lodge
http://www.chobesafarilodge.com/ . Evening and morning trips. Saw lots
of
Hippos, elephants, and a pride of lions, as well as Nile Crocs and
baboons.



Nothing that exotic but we got out Tuesday and we are going out
tonight. Just a little cruise down the river


Same here, got out last Sunday, but this weekend will be cool and rainy.

Very cool vacation, but I could never get my wife on a plane for that long
of a flight.


-----------------

My wife used sleeping pills. Going we spent the night at Dulles and then
the 8500 mile trip with a stop in Dakar for an hour. Coming home was about
40 hours in airports and airplanes. Travel agent routing sucked. Cape town
to Johannesburg to Dakar to Washington DC to LAX to Oakland. And then 45
minutes filling out lost luggage claim. Did not make the plane in LAX,
delivered next day. 2 to 6 hour layovers along the way. About 12,000 miles
flying. Looking at the map, I would do it different if I went back. SFO to
GRU, then a few days then GRU to Jo'burg. Same return timing. Then you
only have an 8-10 hour flight with a nice break in the middle.

Most people have sense enough to do that. Actually stopping over a few
nights in SF might even be better.


Not a horrible idea. Come in late, do a next day hike in the Muir
woods and get out early the next day

Heck give me a call, stay a couple nights, introduce you to my retired IBM
Regional Specialist, and see a little of carmel and SF.
