SOUTH AFRICA: Hippopotamus Hunt With Pawprint Safaris 2017

Received a good luck call from @Art Lambart II and his dad @Shootist43 this morning. Thanks guys for the support and well wishes. We will get together when I get back a swap hunt stories while sipping some fine liquids from KY. (Bourbon)

Not sure Edward but didn't you try yours with a nice Italian Red wine?
 
Tequila would be best...
 
Good luck and safe travels Charlie!
 
One more time for good measure... best of luck and enjoy! Safe travels today!
 
Ok the Wife has me at the Kansas City International airport and I'm ready to head out to Atlanta!
Great news I scored a business class upgrade from Kansas City to Atlanta and to Johanesburg OR Tambo !
I guess traveling 160 segments a year on Delta pays off. Will have to wait and see if I get the upgrade coming back home! Bought a coach ticket this time with Delta Comfort and applied my world upgrade rewards to get the business class. Only thing is I only found out that I got it 24 hours in advance. At least I know I will get some sleep on the way over!

Flight over was uneventful and Delta took very good care of everything. I was actually the third person off the plane and when I got to passport control I was the second person in line. I was amazed that there was no crowd at all. Pieter and @bassasdaindia were waiting in me in the arrivals area. Thank you Larry for the warm greeting to South Africa.
SAPs office was not bad as I did my own paperwork....no problems at all.
We were off to Pieter's new lodge which was a short one and a half hour drive even with traffic. The cook Claudius had a wonderful meal prepared of Blesbock kabobs, corn on the cob, and salad.
A nice fire to share a drink around and it was off to bed.
 
Good luck buddy!
 
way to go charlie.
 
I've had beef cheeks, snapper throat & other strange things..... but hippo lips. May have to pass on that. :Vomit:
 
charlie, bring me back a paw print hat,ill send you a rubber check when you get back.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.
