The Tour to South Africa must have been an interesting experience judged by the unforeseen expenditure of "bribe to South African Army" of $1000. The back story is on about day three or four of the tour, we had been assigned a South African colonel to help us with transportation and lodging while on tour. We were to bus on 4 August from our billet, a Holiday Inn, in Pretoria, to our billet at the River Bend Lodge in Jonkmaaspruit, near the Hoedspruit AFB, then back to Johannesburg on 9 August for our flight to Capetown. All this had been set up and paid for by Kevin even before departing the States. Sometime on the 2nd or 3rd, this colonel told Kevin we needed to pay him another $1,000 or he would not be able to ensure we had bus transportation for the rest of the tour. Kevin and Mike Malone argued with the Colonel for about 15 minutes. But, we had no way of going any further at the time without his assistance. So, Kevin paid him $1,000 out of the kitty held for expenses, albeit not anticipating this type of “expense”.
