You don't take it for granted, and consequently, your readers can't take it for granted, either. I hope you have a ridiculously fantastic time and I cannot WAIT to hear all about it.

I don't think it is something I could ever tire of. As for the arrivals hall in Nairobi, I have no idea, but the departures hall was extremely low key (so much so that I think we actually had to wait outside until it was just about time for our flight to Bangkok [via Dubai]). And do take the binoculars. I ended up with them attached to my face much more often than the camera (though at first it was the camera all the time). Seeing elephants in the wild is amazing.

How can that possibly be a fair trade? I guess as long as they think it is, I will be saying "Why, yes! Yes, I will go there. OF COURSE I will."

Also, thanks for clearing up something for me. I wrote a song where I used the A to Z metaphor several times and one of them was "from Alberta to the shores of Zanzibar." Geography is <i>not</i> my strong suit so afterwards I was thinking... "but what if Zanzibar is a landlocked country?" I decided not to check because it would ruin a perfectly adequate song and/or activate the OCD in me and I'd have to re-write. Now that I know it's an island, I'm quite relieved.
