All, we have made it to the town of Kasane where we are looking at the Chobe National Park. will be trying to update the blog a big more now that we are at our second location which has power... well sometimes (we got back from our game ride this morning and the power was out, once it came back on they told me I should hurry ;)
(We will try to post some pictures later time/power/internet connection permitting)
We absolutely loved our first camp - Kwara Camp (Hi Blue - manager, General Custer - Guide/Best off road driver ever, and Justice - our expert spotter). We flew from Gabarone to a bare landing strip where "the General" was waiting to pick us up. From there we drove to our camp which had no electricity except for what could be provided by with a few solar panels (3 lights per tent only). Even with this limitation we really liked the camp and the people we met while there.
We had game drives where we would hardly ever stick to the roads and saw lions feeding on zebra, wild dogs (which I spotted the last day) attack a small antelope, etc...
I have < onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">internet time... Will post more later.

Good to get an update. We figured yall were short on power and maybe internet. Sounds like great fun and what an opportunity to see wildlife without walls !

If you can call your mom she needs info for the dogs or a vet phone / name for shot info....
thanks... Thursday 5pmCDT
Hey dad (Randy), can you look up our cell phone number (In the earlier blog postings from Portia I believe) and have mom call that... We can't call out to the US. Vet we use is the Petsmart - Banfield Dog Clinic up on 610 West Loop.
Are dogs OK? Love all!, we made it back to Gabarone today and all is well, I will have persistant Gmail/Work email tomorrow night (our time)
It was good talking to you guys today. Portia, I hope you feel better. Medical advice, to,morrow take two glasses (large) of chanpaigne and sleep fron Johan SA to Frankfort Ger. If you don't feel better, take two aspirins and see a Dr the next day. Becca, looking forward to hearing you are state side. If Micah can, have him update the blog when leaving SA and then in Germany. Micah, you should know this... what is Lepidolite.
