Thanks so much for connecting. Love your library!
I loved Checklist Manifesto. Not sure what led you to the book but the other "business" book I liked most this year is Switch by the Heath brothers. Check it out.
I have always been interest in Asian literature, but that interest was taken to another level when we adopted our daughter from China. How did you become interested?
Take care,
Nancy

Sory - I only just got this. You picked up an accidental guide to the Okavango, but should be pleased to know that both Duba and Mombo have ben extensively rebuilt since I described them. The best advice I can give is to arrive with as few expectations as you can. If you sit back and take pleasure in everything you see good luck comes to you (I am not a superstitious or spirtual person, except on safari - the animals come out of hiding for people who like them).
As for the elderly guests that will be with you, yes, you will be lowering the bell curve somewhat. But since viagra they have been scurrying off to bed earlier than ever so you can sit and hear the guide's stories over port around the fire without having to hear about the time the fought the Red Baron. Since though most people who travel all the way to Africa need a genuine enthusiasm for it overall they are good value (though don't make good stories - that's why only the irritatng ones mae it into my book).
Cheers,
Peter
