#1 - WJ'S FAVORITE THINGS 2007
A Safari with CC Africa - www.ccafrica.com
Read WJ's account of their safari experience with CC Africa.
South African Safari: Ultimate Adventure Meets Ultimate Luxury
Tearing flesh, crunching bones, the two largest lions in Africa are so close to the safari jeep
that I find my heart pounding from the adrenalin rush. Our ranger, Paul, has positioned us
within 15 feet of the two brothers and their fresh Wildebeest kill. It's not everyday you get this
close to one of Africa's "Big 5" (lions, elephants, water buffalo, rhino and leopard) while
indulging all of your senses in ultimate luxury.
Eager to come face-to-face with the elusive leopard and scarcely seen wild dogs, we had
chosen to visit the 76,000 hectare Madikwe Game Reserve (a 4 hour drive northwest of
Johannesburg and bordering Botswana) - and being a malaria-free reserve was a definite
bonus.

Travel Tips ~ What to do before you leave home on a long trip
by Emma Wilson in San Francisco, California
Once the trip is booked there is plenty to do before heading off from home.
Here's a short list to make life easier.
How can friends/family reach you while you're away?
Get yourself set up with a yahoo or hotmail email account that can be accessed
from any computer anywhere in the world. If you're considering taking a cell
phone/mobile/handy with you on your trip, make sure it will still work if you're
traveling outside your own country. Do this with your cell phone provider and
double check the information with them to make sure it is correct. Other options
are: rent a mobile phone in the place you're visiting, use email as internet
access is readily available in most places and/or take a laptop with you
(although, internet cafe access weighs less).

GSEAT
WJ has used the GSeat daily throughout the course of 2007 - in the office,
car, flights, ball games and concerts.
We are thoroughly pleased with the product and results from using it.
Take the pressure off your back and tailbone and sit more comfortably.
Works great for sciatic problems.

TWIN PEAKS RANCH -
www.twinpeaksranch.com
WAVE Journey enjoyed a week of riding,
roping and rafting at Twin Peaks Ranch
near Salmon, Idaho in the USA.
WJ's time at Twin Peaks went by far too
quickly! We had so much fun that we didn't
want to leave and wished we could stay for
at least another week.
Highlights: Gorgeous scenery,
mouth-watering food, clean, cozy and
comfortable accommodations, horses to
suit all skill levels and sizes, friendly and
competent staff, exceptionally clean and
well maintained swimming pool and hot tub,
large variety of fun and challenging
activities.

Travel Tips
by L.T. in Canada
Traveling with a mobile phone has its advantages, especially if delayed for
airline connections. If you have a mobile you can call the airline reservation
department directly while you wait for the one and only customer service agent
in the endless line of other passengers who are also trying to sort out missed
connections. It is also handy to have with you to rearrange hotel/car
reservations or to inform anyone picking you up at your destination.
Never completely trust information given out by airline or hotel staff (probably
the same in most situations these days). Sorry to say that you can ask five
different employees the same question and get a different answer from each
one, and it is doubtful that anyone will actually be correct. Do your own
homework if and when possible if it's something that you must have accurate
info on.
