Just a word of warning to the pair of you.

Don't get your feet on the Kalahari sand..... Or even any in your shoes.

You won't even be back home yet and you will be planning the next trip. :twisted:

Have a blast :thumbs_up:

I love the Kruger

- going again end of March BUT the KTP is something different altogether :thumbs_up:

As BB says: once you get the red sand between your toes you are hooked - I long to go again - have been planning my next trip since we left the park in May 2011! :whistle:

Just got to get some ops over with then we'll be on our way

The above is exactly the reason why it took me 10 years to book a trip to KTP :wall:

.

Thanks for the kind wishes BB :thumbs_up:

I have a funny feeling that you are right BB! You will, however, hear my screams in Cape Town should I find a Lioness or a Puff Adder in one of the picnic sites' loos! :lol:

Good luck with your ops RuthP! Hope you can visit the KNP soon! :dance:

I think you should leave Hilda with LQ in Upington - now that they have joined the broom brigade, they need coms daily to do the sweeping :hmz:

So Barry and Picnic, have a great time and take lots of pics so Hilda and LQ can see what they missed :whistle:

Seriously, have a wonderful time - and you are both already addicted, you just don't know it yet.
