What a terrific thread
.
Currently in San Francisco on a trip that wasn’t planned until Sunday 17th Dec, so I am not sure about this planning stuff
We have one big trip planned for next year. We booked Giraffe Manor in Kenya in early June 2017 for Sep 2018 and were struggling to get availability, so planning is often necessary!
We are flying F on EK Syd-NBO and most of September and a bit of October will be in Kenya/Rwanda/Tanzania.
Apart from two nights at Giraffe Manor camps are
Sala’s Camp (Masai Mara)
Segera Retreat (Laikipia area)
Bisate (Rwanda)
Then 3 Singita properties in Tanzania
Mara River
Sabora
Sasakwa
Mainly flying small planes to get around, although booked with Kenyan Air for Nairobi-Kigali
We have also booked to go Antarctica on Silverseas Cloud in very early January 2019 - taking Ms FM and her husband. This will be our first cruise and we are all a bit unsure as Ms FM and Mr FM both suffer from motion sickness - we have kept it to 10 days on the boat, so hopefully it will be good and we can add cruises to our repertoire.
There will definitely be some Sydney/Melbourne trips but they tend to be less planned - joys of retirement.
