Edward--thanks. How much was the balloon ride?? I heard they are very pricy. Did you stay at Vumbura Plains?? We stayed at Little Vumbura and while we enjoyed our time there, there really were not that many animals that we saw, compared to Savuti and Mombo. Mombo was very high class, but I have heard that VP is really over the top silly for being in the bush. I surely hope that we will get back to Africa some day! Did you ever get any pictures uploaded online somewhere???
