I don't wnt to lose momentum on this little project of ours, and I know that it's not like our schedules are going to get any easier towards the summer, so . . . .
1. It looks like the people who are going are GK, MF, AW, and ED. We are theoretically meeting EB and BC in Africa, maybe JW will somehow meet us somewhere for part of the trip. Right?
2. PLANE TICKETS - Somebody has to do research. I can certainly look at Expedia and Travelocity and all that and get a list of prices for us. However, please email me any other sites where we can get cheap tickets (EB and BC should probably be an expert at this!). It seems like it would make the most sense for us to buy our tickets all at once, although we are not sure whether we're flying out together, right? I am volunteering to tackle this part . . . but please email me suggestions of where to look.
3. Are we definitely flying in to Dar as Salam? Refresh my memory . . . . why are we flying there?
4. I still really want to get the house in Zanzibar, and the brief research that Molly and I did appears to indicate that they are really cheap - like 200 bucks per person for the week. That's obviously fantastic, although someone has to really be in charge of actually getting it booked and all that.
5. SAFARI - I think we'd all really like to make this happen, too, right? Joe, can you please suggest places/companies/organizations? Any discount that you can pull for us with your special connections would be of course much appreciated. Once Joe throws us some ideas and suggestions, we should decide reasonable quickly - so that we can save the money and also because I'm sure that they book up fast.
6. If we do the house in Zanzibar and the safari wherever, how are travelling to these places aside from our plane ride to Africa? Again, JW may be the best person to advise or BC.
7. If we are all worried that we aren't able to plan/organize this trip ourselves (I kind of am) . . . . . shoudl we get a travel agent or something?
Anyways, it seems like maybe it would be a good idea for us to assign ourselves different tasks (George - plane tickets, Molly - house, etc.) . . . . . obviously, final decisions will be decided jointly but then I feel like each of us won't feel as overwhelmed.
Let's make it happen!
