Oh Linky, I just envy you, Ant and Ecclipse for living in one of the most beauiful places on earth. I mean I love my Canada and it sure is beautiful but something about Africa screams Heaven to me. My Hubby is Nigerian so I hope to one day be able to visit there.

Enjoy your trip...... April

Lol - that status comes with the following exclusive package:

Anti-hijacking unit
Automatic currency translator
Sun cream that makes you look local - local is lekker!!!
* Terms and conditions apply - please note that this offer only applies when its raining, your not driving a car and you have already changed your currency over to rands....hahahahaha....

I wish that you guys/gals could come to SA - what a jol!!!!!!! I had a giggle the other day when I remembered a girl who came over as an exchange student and was scared to step out of the airport in case a lion attacked her - lol. Some people think that we live amongst dangerous predators and live in grass huts - I wouldnt mind as long as there was a shower, electric heater, lights, door, comfy bed......ok, I am the type who enjoys the outdoors after being indoors ;)

Cant wait to see Linkie's photies - please have a Brown Headed in them - puleeessseee!!!!!

I'm still patiently waiting for our sweet Linky to get back so she can give us all the details of her trip and share her pics, she'll probably need a vacation to recuperate from her vacation :09:

The name I was thinking of orginated from the traditional Zulu culture....Ant and Links your welcome to come up with other ideas :)

I thought of the name "Induna" which has many meanings - embassador, tribe leader, etc etc but the reason I thought of it was because of your "police" signature and instead of saying, "Whatcha Gonna Do When We Come For You?" you would stand up (With your 10 wives sitting at your feet) and say, "Watcha gonna do when we come for your cattle!" In the traditional culture a man's worth was valued by the number of cattle he owned and the number of wives he had. They must of been extremely aware of womens emotional needs as well as understandin them - hahahaha.....sorry, couldnt help myself there! ;)

Part of the Induna's job was to stop any nonsense going on in the tribe and keep the peace. Some of the punishments were pretty harsh and everyone in the tribe behaved - thank goodness I didnt live in those days - I think my tongue would of been chopped off - hahahaha!!!! PLEASE NOTE - LOL, Im not implying that Bobby is leader of this forum tribe and above everyone, Im just referring to his "polic" image ;)

Linky and Craig, arrived safely, thank God.
I reckon they are so busy relaxing and having a LEKKER time, driving around etc. no time for any feedback. Linky was supposed to send me pic's and sms's daily, I personally think she did not want to bother me, knowing I am trying so hard to keep my business going. If I recall correctly, Linky is going to video as much as possible and share it with us when they return.
Linky had better have vid's and pic's, otherwise we will have to send them back !!!!! Same number Jess, try, I tried twice, came back failed.

Seems there isnt good reception her side. This is me sending Linky positive "Please spot some brown headed parrots" vibe - lol ;)
