- 3 Pairs of pants
- 3 Long-sleeve tees
- 1 Long-sleeve shirt
- 1 Vest with pockets for camera equipment
- 1 Warm Jacket
- 1 Hat with a brim all round
- 1 Pair of non-sexy P.J.'s
- Undies - just a few
- Thick socks
- 50 spray cans of OFF!!!
- .....and those flip flops for the outdoor shower where one can watch the pachyderms!
By the way, we'll leave our jewels at home ~ too much glitter might cause a stampede! However, I'll be scanning the ground for diamonds.

No zip codes, no mail, no Internet except for emergencies, so no blogging for about 17 days.......will you miss me?.......and I will need to take a good book to read in the lounging hours between early morning and sundowners!
There will be wild cats, lots of them!
OK, how are you doing? Easy isn't it? Perhaps you've guessed one country..........actually we'll be in three, possibly a fourth to get a better view of one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World where a raincoat might be needed........not that I'll have room for one in that little duffel bag!
Don't forget, leave a comment with your guess by Thursday. Perhaps the winner can name the four countries, all are close together. If not three is fine, even two.......and, if you can only guess one, please make it a country not the continent.
After we have a winner I'll give you more details about this amazing trip we four Brit broads are planning!
Thanks for playing along.





Ok, so it's not China and it's not a cruise, it just has to be South Africa-to name one. This is too fun! Hugs, Mary Ann
ReplyDeleteAre y ou going on African safari?
ReplyDeleteSouth Africa - and/or Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique? Wow! Can't wait to see photos and hear of your adventures!
ReplyDeletejealous I tell ya, jealous!!
ReplyDeleteFor sure it isn't Australia -- where you would need a Visa ..... have to ponder it more.
ReplyDeleteI think "Anonymous" has it nailed ... ditto.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing Ghana and South Africa.
ReplyDeleteZimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia and ............ it's a SAFARI!
ReplyDeleteJust can't imagine you without all you products Mary - what would your Mum say eh?
Have a fab time
JJ
oh my...you are going to victoria falls too?
ReplyDeleteyou might want to get one of those rain ponchos...they are smallish and should fit easily into your luggage or pack whatevefr.
I am a liitle late jumping in here and my geography of the Dark Continent isn't very good, but my first thought was safari in South Africa and I am sticking with it!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy,
Janet
Can I tell yet?
ReplyDeleteAnna
My first thoughts were India and Australia, but it looks like somewhere on a safari, maybe Kenya.
ReplyDeleteangelas says Botswana, Africa.
ReplyDeleteRead all the comments, but as far as I know, Australia is the only country with pachyderms (except possums, here in the US and probably everywhere) -- so it must be Australia! I don't think even New Zealand (close neighbor) has pachyderms, so I must be right! But in that case, I don't get the reference to multiple countries....
ReplyDeleteIt has to be South Africa. Princess Elizabeth made her first broadcast to the Commonwealth from there:
ReplyDelete"I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong."
How exciting!!!!
Okay, it has to be South Africa - I'm not sure about neighboring countries - Victoria Falls? Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa & Botswana? A safari?
ReplyDeleteAre you going on a safari to Africa? I think the Victoria Falls is in Zambia and I know there is big game reserve in Kenya, so my guess is those are two of the places you are going. You're probably flying into Johannesburg in South Africa and Kruger Park is there.
ReplyDeleteIf you are going to Africa you will have anamazing time. I was in Swaziland and it was a wonderful experience. Lucky you!
Hugs, Rhondi
My guess would be South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Mozambique. Don't think you'd be going to Zimbabwe because of the political situation. You'll love South Africa, my son and his family are in White River in Mpumalanga, Kruger National Park and the Drakensberg Mountains right on the doorstep. Wish I was going too but I'll have to wait until next year I think.
ReplyDeleteTreetops in Africa!
