We leave in 2 1/2 weeks !!! I have been waiting for this trip for over 15 years. I check the message board every day. I am already half packed. Do I sound excited? You betcha. And yes, Sandman, I have my ziplocs.

Gay and dave and Swetjane hit it on the head but I'd add granola bars to the list! Great emergency food for the "not too big on fish" people,lol.

Have fun. Be down ther for a second visit in October so don't forget the trip report.

Well, we are here and check the new topic under live at Cave's Branch - I know you are excited and should be - 15 years - although we were only planning for six months - those six months seemed like 15 years - and now that we are here - I can only say I am jealous that you are still going and I am here - more later - check for more, on live reports.
