To all my friends on the Zambia trip: Thanks for all offers of medicine, hair dryers, clothing, and moral support through various mishaps. My suitcase has been seeing more of Africa than I have, and I understand it is being sent to Lusaka for shipment. I am enjoying seeing all of you again through pictures and hope that we will meet again.

Debbie

I want everyone to know that I was amazed at Debbie's cool temperment over the lost luggage situation. As her roommate I got to see first hand how she handled the loss of not only all her clothing and personal effects, but her expensive binoculars. She was intent on not letting it ruin her experience and remained a pleasure to room with! Keep us posted on the progress of its recovery, Debbie. I'm axious to hear that you get your binoculars back!

And your special small raincoat and the long silk (?) underwear that you needed for your trip to Alaska!

The latest is that my suitcase is now in Lusaka preparing to be shipped. I will just have to wait until it gets here to see if anything needs to be replaced. The long underwear is just capilene, but I definitely need it for backpacking. I have been traveling for 20 years with never a lost suitcase. I guess it was my turn.
