Planning

---

Well this is the first entry in our blog, hoping to share the travel live with family and friends. This is an experiment for us and I really hope it works.

We are planning to leave Jhb on 18th August and return 8th September during which time we will drive through Botswana, Namibia and maybe a short trip to Zim.

We have made some of the bookings already but will allow for some flexibility as we go..maybe a bit risky but TIA (this is Africa) and we have experienced hospitality and flexibility in all our travels before so should be OK.

cost of stuff
I have enjoyed following yur blog and have a couple of questions as a group of us from the US are preparong to travel over some of the route you have taken. First I would like to blog our trip as well but not sure what internet access capabilities I will have and/or what equipment i should bring. Second, you said some in one of the blogs about your parents calling during the elephant eating yur tent and i was wondering what phone service you are using. And last, you don't mentin any specifics on cost. Fuel, food, lodging etc. Thanks and keep on having a great time. Alan
