This stuff, makes a two week safari too difficult

What's the difficulty for a two-week safari?

--Gary




For some reason most of the messages on this thread were blank in my
newsreaders, so sorry if I repeat someone else. The problem faced by
GoAnna was that pilots would have to apply for a security card AFTER
then entered Australia. We went on a GoAnna flight this past summer
(knowing it might be our last chance). We had a GREAT time, but if we
had to go to Australia 2 or 3 weeks early to apply for the card it would
have made it a 5 or more week vacation. A 3.5 week get away was
difficult enough to plan! It's a shame Mal is out of business it was
the best 12 days of our lives. We saw really cool stuff.
