Be it ever so humble...

We arrived home safe and sound guided by a full moon.  The flight from London to Boston was smooth and we even managed to get some shuteye - I wouldn't go so far as to call it sleep.  The plane landed a half hour early.  We breezed through customs with our new Global Entry pass, and our driver was waiting for us when we wheeled our duffels outside.  No traffic, in the house by midnight. What a joy to sleep in our own bed.  Up early this morning - still on African time.

As I have expressed several times during this journey, it was simply amazing.  From the cities to the bush, from the homes to the resorts, from the ocean to the mountains, we saw and did so much.  You never know what will happen when you start these trips.  Guide books can only go so far but it is really the people that you meet along the way that enhance the experience.

That being said, we would really like to thank all of our ATC hosts who treated us with loving care.  It was like leaving family every time we drove away.  Another big thank you goes out to Elmor and his crew at GO SELFDRIVE TOURS who helped us before and during our trip to make everything smooth and insure that we had a good time.  Even during the bumpy times, of which there weren't many, they were there to listen and help.  Our total gratitude to our guides and drivers who could not have been more helpful in their wish to please their clients. It is because of them that we were able to experience the amazing wildlife of nature.  Thanks again and again to Diane and Tim for keeping the roof on the house.  And, of course, thank you to all of our family and friends who travel with us.  Your comments both on the blog and the pictures are such a joy to read when we are so far away.

This is beginning to sound like an acceptance speech but I've got one more.  A great big thanks to my brother, Jerry, for picking up the phone every Monday morning so I could hear his voice.  And 

speaking of Jerry, it is wash time!  

Till next time....
