We booked this trip through CruiseOne in October 2017. We booked our air in October 2018 for premium economy on American and British air.
Because we are a Tauck repeat customer, we were given a free night pre tour at the royal Livingstone in Zambia.
We began our journey at 10 am Wednesday September 4. We drove to the airport and checked in. Our bags weighed 46 pounds each...we packed the tauck duffle bags in them as well as a very small lightweight backpack for me to use on the safari portion of the trip. Steve's backpack weighed 10 pounds and Steve's camera bag weighed 13 pounds and my camera bag weighed 4 pounds. We were able to check the bags all the way through and we went to the admiral’s club. We were able to watch the last flight of an MD80 take off for retirement.
We boarded the flight for Chicago. The flight leaving Chicago was our first time on a 787. It left two hours late.
