Pulled the trigger- Heading to Tally-Ho in 2026

[Hillbilly Marine]

After years of wanting to hunt Africa, but having life get in the way, I finally signed the contract and today sent the deposit. Thanks to my long-suffering and loving wife who finally pushed me to go I will be in South Africa in September of 2026! Now the fun of getting everything done, checked, and ready starts.

You won't regret it. I understand having the bug bite you a little later in life. Enjoy this trip to the utmost. Parts of it will go fast. Take your time and find a moment now and again to catch a deep breath and soak it in. I only had a couple of regrets from my only trip so far and one was that I was so focused on my "list" that I didn't take more time to enjoy the journey. So I'm going to Zim in 26 to try to fix my mistakes.

I meant to add in my earlier post one thing that I definitely recommend. Try to find a few minutes each evening to document that day’s activities in detail, like a journal. After the trip a lot of those details will be lost as the days and other memories merge together. I did that because I didn’t want to forget anything about my trip. I regularly go back and review my notes and really enjoy them. The rest of my group didn’t do that I think they regret it.

I have already been planning on that. My memory of 1863 is better than my memory of 2024!
