It's Official

In 9 days it's off to Africa for me. This will be trip number 3,
and fortunately not repeating any of the previously visited
cities. While not looking forward to doing any of this, I do
know it will be "beneficial" for me to go. In fact, I believe
that was the actual word used.

Still not feeling well. Gotta be better by Wednesday, as
they're flying me to ATL to do the first meeting with the
Charter Broker. It's gonna be a down and back- that
makes me VERY happy. The level of service and demand
on the crew will be quite high. This is the first trip in
a long time where we (World) have provided this many
people to support a trip like this. The times are goofy,
and the schedule is hectic- but whatever.

Today I dragged out the "good" World Phone. I plan
to take a back-up phone too. Not gonna take any
chances whatsoever. Find the passport, camera, and
the pepto! Africa, here I come!

OH, and it's nice and quiet around here since the
"problem" left for Seattle!
