Thanks for the encouragement guys. I am in a similar state! I have to put on hold the plans of getting my first DR & my first African hunting trip! Even hunting Australia looks a while away.

But... I have just won an auction on eBay for 25 copies of the DR journal for US$100 but the freight to NZ is US$200!! Still...it should be great reading & dreaming when it arrives here in a couple of weeks!

Hang in there everyone!
