I've called both Gracy Travel and Klimes. Debbie immediately contacted me with a intro e-mail, some kind words and left off by saying she would call me today. She did, before noon today and was a pleasure to speak to. She said we are about 1 month early as to fare quotes but that she has set her alerts to contact me no later than the third week in June to get the ball rolling. In the meanwhile, she'd send me a brochure packet. Klimes hasn't responded but, in fairness, it may be because of my premature call since fares are not up for our time frame, as yet.

Still, Debbie at Gracey Travel was all over it and that kind of attention means something to me.

FWIW from this Africa cherry,fellas.
