Got back in late this afternoon and hit the office for a while. Those poor girls were swamped with 2006 coming out right as I left. I swear RSSC plans this it happened last year too, the very day I left for a week on the Navigator. Sorry if anything was a little slower than usual, Julie did not send me updates so I know she was swamped. I Should be able to check all the MUSH invoices tomorrow and get those out.
Will post more tomorrow night about the trip, interesting trying to get back your vat tax refund. Will report on that at length and I also found out where to store the luggage. 36 Rand per bag per day - $6. It is in the airport which is actually more convenient than the hotel and the hotel will not take luggage now if you are not staying there. Particularly not a large group of people with luggage.
GREAT GREAT trip, I am really exhausted now though we were in coach in a completely sold out plane in the middle section. I am one tired person.

I have to tell you that Ngaire has the most wonderful staff. I got to work with both Julie Harris and Susan Wempe while she was gone and they did such a good job. Can you imagine they had to take care of us with the MUSH bookings (60 of them, I think) and the new 2006 itinerary and they did not miss a beat?.
Ngaire, you are very lucky to have such good people. Welcome home.
