This thread has been depressing. I can't believe how expensive the shipping has gotten.
If you're depressed now, wait till you start to explore what's being charged for DG hunts. They've gone up considerably over the past 2-3 years, and all the add-on nickle/dime charges have gotten quite ridiculous. A lot of them even want $275 -$450 per day for an observer/non hunting companion!
I refuse to be gouged, so going back to Africa is no longer in my plans.
