I am seriously GIDDY now only having four more full days of work to get through until we get ready for our LONG travel day saturday. Can anyone tell me if the park roads have improved any,how the skeeters have been lately and the temps. I know I know, anything will be better than the 19 degrees for a high that we will have tomorrow but I still want to know!!!

Susan, I know what you mean. Our long travel day is Friday and Saturday red eye out of Houston. Don't care. I can't wait to get there too.

I'm RIGHT THERE WITH YA ! I leave Sat morning. I'm taking Friday off work to spend with my little Widget and then off on Saturday!! Woo hoo! Safe travels to you both!

the park has reopened .. the roads are reflective of the heavy rains .. generally rainy here, mosquitoes plentiful and temps. in the low 80's.

Pietri, not to mention the epidemic of dengue!! Bring plenty of Off with Deet in it and put on first thing in the morning and keep on all day if you don't want to get dengue to take home with you. seriously

Oh dear....ok note to self ...get more deet tonight!!!

Just replenished at Target. They have a nice selection in the camping dept. 100%, 40% and 25% DEET. I bought all 3. WE'll be covered.

Well I can only fit so many in my little zip lock bags--- we only travel with carry on bags. So only 3 oz products!! I may have to find you and borrow some!! Just kidding!!

The park roads were impassable in January so I imagine they are still in very bad shape. This may be a year to skip the park.

Don't skip the park!!! The road is open to slagbaai. You take the long route out then the short route back. susan, got ya covered for the Deet..

Thanks Michael...I would never skip the park, I love it there!!!! As long as you think the roads are fine. We will be there!
