Todays my 3oth aniversary having left Windhoeks airport for Germany. I have never set foot on African ground since.

Anybody got a lift????

My only advice would be to save a little money and go down there. It will be a trip of a lifetime and well worth the spend. I've been back twice since we left in '86 and each time was very emotional. I'm hoping to go back sometime this year. Don't let the opportunity pass you by Junior. In 20 years from now you'll look back and regret never having made that little financial sacrifice.

I see you feel the same as I do Patricia.

@ Georg - Fly to CT international first. I'll give you a piece of bread and a blanket for the first evening down south, no need for a hotel!
Yes one of my dreams too - I REALLY pray for the time and means to take a few days to go to my town of birth this year!
