Holiday trip with the boys

So on Monday myself, the Focker, Buzz Lightyear are going with the Flo aka Havoc on a coastal trip.
Monday we fly from Jhb to Port Edward. We plan to refuel at the Ultra City (Estcourt) and Margate. Hopefully meet some of the locals and anyone else on holiday on the south coast at the Port Edward pub.
Tuesday a nice scenic slow flight down the coast to East London. John Waterson has kindly accepted our request to overnight our horses at his place.
Wed continue along the coast to st Francis where we will invade Demons place.
Thurs and Fri will include some more coastal flying to Plett and Knysna as well maybe as a bit of fishing with Demon.
A surprise arrival from Jhb of Big G and the Straydog is a strong possibility but I will not say anything as its a surprise.
Sat will enjoy the St Francis Fly-in and hopefully meet some more locals.
Sun depart for either Burgerdorp, Aliwal or Bloem.
Mon return to Jhb.
You guys interested in some updates along the way?

You make me soooo envious with your lovely GT450's!!! It sounds like a little j\hop skip and jump to get down when in my trike it is a mammoth task.
You guys fly safe and if you want to drop in at Light Flight just let me know and we can be waiting for you.
ENJOY!!!!

Don't know what to say. The frequent flyers are going to buzz into town - St Francis - . Welcome, love to meet you guys. I will also be working - finishing off projects for end of year. Shout for petrol etc. - as we ran out of 95 octane a week or two ago at the local filling station. Should not happen during the season.
Will have to get a canal cruise going for the visitors. number is 082 575 4868.
