I enjoyed the read. Also its always a good idea to try to keep in touch with relatives, no matter how distant You only go around once and they are much to precious not to pass down through the generations. I wish as a child or early adult I had asked more questions about family history. Seems like by not keeping in touch, the only time I see relatives is at funerals. I guess times have changed. [:'(]

And as far as the elephant story. I'd hate to be the guy that missed. Cause someday he's going to book another trip, and while creeping through the bush, when he's least expecting it.... Well, we all know an elephant never forgets.
