Heading to South Africa

It's finally here. I'm leaving for South Africa on Saturday morning from San Francisco to Atlanta then on to Johannesburg. The entier flight will take over 24hrs, leave here drive to SF (2hrs) fly to Atlanta (6hrs) a 4 hrs lay over and then an 18 hrs 23 min flight to Johannesburg then a 2 hr drive to the lodge. My niece and I will be beat
To make matters worse, I seriously bruised my tail bone while playing with Mister Monster and it still hurts. I went to the store and bought a doughnut pillow and a neck pillow to help make me comfortable on the flight but I know it's going to be rough.
I'm taking 2 camers, one that doubles as a cam corder, and a digital 12.2 megapixle Cannon with 2 lenses and 24 GB of scan discs so I'll be posting photos when I get back from my trip.
The first thing I'm going to buy when I get to Johannesburg is some CUBAN cigars! Yeah, the only time I can get them is when I go out of the country so I'll be looking for them. When Castro dies and the US normalizes relations with Cuba I'll only be smoking cigars.
I'll be able to eat some of the game I shoot while I'm on my trip but the majority of the meat goes to the tribes that leave around the preserve but I'll be having the hides treated so I can use them for blankets or rugs. I might have one head mounted but only keep the skull and antlers of the other animals I shoot. Depends on the cost of getting it all done.
Hope Every One has a Wonderful Thanksgiving, I know I will.
