Yes, it has been 4 weeks! D'ja miss me? Well, I missed you! I was off on my long anticipated trip to visit my son and his wife in South Africa, with a few days r&r in Bali (had to do a round the world ticket to save $$$, so why not

Welcome Back! Missed seeing you around these parts, and jealous of your world traveler status. Looking forward to reading more snippets of your trip!

Well, since you have cat in your name, I will tell you my greatest disappointment with my trip....I saw almost NO CATS! We found 4 sleeping lions (1 male and his pride of 3 lovely ladies). They were sleeping in the shade, attracting flys, and could have cared less if we were near by. I think if I had gotten out of the Jeep, they would have just turned over and asked for a back rub, they were so lazy. They had eaten the night before, as there was blood on their whiskers and jaws, but no prey close by because the hyenas and jackals take anything the lions leave back to their dens. We saw no cheetahs or leopards either. Very bummed about that! We did see 1 serval cat, but it was dusk and it was running off. I had a wonderful time, but I am cat deprived. Guess I will have to go to the SF zoo and see a few there.
Thanks for reading my LJ, and now I'd best get back to work. The boss was none to happy that I took a 3 week trip, but F him! Right?

ha ha, cat is on my lap right now!

I'm glad the lions you saw had eaten, so therefore not viewing you as food; but they could have at least looked up and acknowledged your presence/ I mean since you came all that way to see them? lol

I saw your post on Kelinswriter's thread that you got your tix - thought it impolite to /jack and ask you "where's your tix" Mine are B3, Row 14, seats 115-116 (bringing my wife, obviously)

If my flight gets in early enough, maybe we should go to San Diego zoo and see the big cats!

OOOO! I am going to have so much fun finding chenzels that night! How did you get so lucky to get B. I started at 9:05 and was stuck on the side with SECC2, row 10, seats 21-23. I don't care, though. I plan to drive in early Friday AM and would love to play. If not before...we should all get together and get plastered afterwards. I have a friend that lives in a nearby suburb, but maybe this is a weekend to indulge in all things Dee. I'll think on it. BS, happy to have tickets

I started at 9 am sharp - got SEC C2 row 12 seats 21-23; decided to gamble a bit, so passed on those tix and drew again - that's when my SEC B tix came up. That is so unlike me to gamble, but I heard this voice inside my head...so I went with it.

I've got 'friends and family' passes on Alaska, which means I fly standby; I've been pretty lucky in the past getting on the first flight out of Seattle on Friday mornings - I'm hoping June 20 is no exception, because wifey and I want to go to the zoo as well as the concert. And of course, we are up for partying after... this is gonna be so much fun!

"It's Meeeeee"
Sounds like Dee singing in my ear!

[allycat46]
