After visiting my parents at Albany I decided to drop by Wilderness Travel to chat with Christina, who was instrumental in setting up our trip to Africa.

I was able to chat with Christina for a few minutes to find out that 35lbs should be the target weight of my luggage. Hum, I wonder I should be throwing out my mini tripod, beef jerky, and a few magazines.

Wilderness Travel is a very friendly place to work. There were a lot of dogs around. Here is a picture of the owner Bill and his dog Jessie. I think our miniature schnauzer Hansel is ready to apply for a job to work here.

In case of Wilderness Travel clients that are lost, Jessie are sent to find them. I wonder how she will do in Botswana? :-)
