Off to Kruger we go!

[wildheart]

I've packed my clothes, hubbies clothes and ja, that is it.

The kids stuff and the food can only be packed tonight, ai, that always causes a run around like you cant believe!

We are going for 5 SLEEPS! I am so excited!

I will be communicating with Ant via sms to share with you the animals that we see, I’ll take photos with my crappy phone and mms it to her as well. IT WILL BE AS IF YOU ARE IN KRUGER

– well just imagine ok. (I promise I will TRY and remember to do it)

Then when I am back I will load that trip report with all the animal sightings as I’ve been promising.

We are going to work extra hard to see Tannie Di’s cheetah!

Only 4 hours to go!

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

Hey Bobby - you got our SA lingo going great guns - lekker man!!!! You would blend in very well in SA - everyone would think your a local I think I can safely dub you as a "Proudly adopted South African"

LINKKKKKKKYYYYYYYYYY - WAAAAAIIIIITTTT!!!!!! Shucks man!!!!! I wanted Links to keep a lookout for Brown Headed parrots - ggrrrrrrrr!!!!

Ant, please please could you ask Links to look out for Hugo look-a-likes??!! - pulllleeeeessseeee!!!! Is she using the same number cause then I can sms her. Apparantly they are found in a section at Kruger - that would make my life

 

[Spiritbird]

[Ecclipse]

Hey Bobby - you got our SA lingo going great guns - lekker man!!!! You would blend in very well in SA - everyone would think your a local I think I can safely dub you as a "Proudly adopted South African"

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!!!!!!!

"Baie dankie" I just love it!!!! lol. "Tannie" is seen as a huge complement SB - you defianetly deserve that complement

Oh, havent forgotten about Bobby's SA name - watch this space - lol!!!!

 

[Bobby34231]

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:

 

[Ecclipse]

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.

 

[Ecclipse]

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

Am so relieved they arrived safely Thank you God for protecting them!
