Melph, I still remember your first post and that wonderful sighting. I do believe that Kruger sometimes gives special gifts to those who are destined to become guardians. Since then, this crazy Aussie has been a very loyal cammer.

Cammers are very special people.

Oh Mel, such a lovely post - it made me go all goosepimpled.

I'm so happy for you that the time is finally near
and am looking very much forward to finally getting to know you in real! :thumbs_up:

4 weeks and 3 days until we meet. :dance:

But until then, have a safe journey and enjoy every moment of your adventure. :thumbs_up:

I'm sure by now you're counting the hours, minutes and seconds til your departure.

You are in for such a treat - cannot wait for your trip report.

I am also going to go in search of those books.

Safe travels and enjoy the "ride".

Hi melph68, hope you enjoy your trip :thumbs_up:

Pity though that you will be in Punda Maria on the 10th and 11th, as that is our cricket weekend and a lot of the forumites is going to be in Skukuza for that weekend. You could have met a lot of us :hmz:

Thank you so much billyf, MM, Toko, lion queen, Lionspoon, ils, chirinda, Tawny, PetraJ, Magic Guarri, hilda, and Anri for your support and good wishes :clap:

I have been quite frantic the past couple of days, with a few last minute packing and paperwork panics :tongue:

But shortly I will go to pick my Dad up from the train station and tomorrow we catch the plane :dance:

Best to you all and bye for now, Mel

Wow Mel...it sound like this is going to be a very nice trip

So if I understand correct this will be your first real-time visit in Africa.....

I am sure you will have a wonderful time and hopefully some beautiful sightings and experiences you will never forget....once you have seen Africa it will never let you go...

It will get a special place in your heart(but seeing the time you spend on the web I imagine it has already has found a warm spot).

I am definitely going to follow your Trip.

Enjoy and have fun :lol:
