Francis, that's a very nice reading below.... Andriod spouses, lol! :-))))

I tell you what, if telcos/isps and other don't do this project in the next
12 months, I'm definately giving it a go. And I'd very very much like your
input, because we can also integrate the great humor and human side of
things in some sort of captions that involve events that can happen and
should happen in the Mara. For example, why would newly weds choose the
Mara? Where are the most romantic places with killer views and breath taking
services ? Which hotel, lodge or camp will treat the honey-mooners as
special guests even just for a few days? What activities can kids do, rather
than running after Lions tails or head butting some poor gazelles?

Much thanks. :-)

Rgds.
