Headed home...

Leaving the Serenora Wildlife Lodge on our last day in Africa. Setting out to find the crocodiles, hippos and whatever else comes our way. Afterwards we are taking a puddle hopper from the Serengeti to Arusha.

BTW we did find the crocs, hippos an lots of other things...




BTW Hippos in the background of this shot...




We are now taxiing, in the single prop plane from the Serengeti Airport. Our pilot is Lulu, our co-pilot is Benji Fischman. Benji is sitting in the co-pilots seat, and is really excited.



I am now in the hotel room blogging, the kids are swimming, Sharon, Joanne and Losarian went to the city to try and figure out how to ship the bows, arrows and instrument back home. At the hotel we can shower and pack before driving to Kiliminjaro Airport for the first of 3 flights back to Minneapolis.

From Kilimanjaro to Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, there is a short layover there, then off to Amsterdam, Netherlands. A 2 hour layover, then onward to Minneapolis.

As fantastic a trip this has been, I am excited to be going home. The things I am looking forward to are, nice toilets, hot showers, ready internet, no dust or pollution, and finally my own bed.

    THANK YOU for the awesome blog. It has been such a treat to travel vicariously through you. The commentary and pictures were truly a pleasure to read and view -- but I'm even more excited to hear the details face to face.
    Happy, healthy New Year.
