I have bought my ticket to Zambia today. Thanks Alison at Tier One Travel in Victoria for your splendid service. I will fly to Frankfurt and than onto Addis Abba and than Lusaka. It takes about 32 hours. I will leave Canada on October 6th so I have a little longer enjoying this beautiful fall weather here in Victoria. I will miss Maria and my anniversary; actually I have only been home once in the last 9 years, being in Zambia every year. Sorry Maria but I will be home for Christmas!
I took this photo as a boarded a flight at Addis Abba, the technician (I hope he was one) was pounding something inside the turbine) sure makes you feel real safe!

Here just let me fix it!
