Second African Safari Just Announced!
February 22 - March 4, 2018
That's right! My first Safari [link] sold out within two hours of my announcement on Thursday! I have to tell you - I was extremely, as well as, pleasantly surprised.
Kevin called me immediately and cleared calendars and set dates for a second African Safari. Those new dates are February 22 - March 4, 2018. Feb 22, 2018 is your travel day from the states to arrive in Johannesburg on Feb. 23. Kevin called me Saturday and told me the second Safari is already 50% sold out. That means we only have 6 seats available.
This is going to be a once in a life-time event. Even if you're hanging on the fence, please give Kevin a call at 505-345-6322 or his cell at 505-401-2988 for all details.

Wow! I've been called a Legend!
I kind of smile about that but here's the backstory. So right before Christmas I received a call from my good friend Sandy Puc to be part of her Legends of Photography Tour [link]. Not only is Sandy a fabulous photographer running a successful studio in Denver, she is also one of the best trainers/teachers in the industry. She has conducted some of the biggest and best attended tours in the country.
Like I said, she calls me right before Christmas to ask me if I would be part of her brand new Legends Tour for 2017 [link]. I have to say... that I was very honored. The line up is fantastic! Just look at all those good looking folks below and you'll get an idea that this will be the biggest tour series this year! It's a big deal!
For all the details about the tour just hit any of the links or images above. Now for the really good news. Registration is now listed at $40 but since you are reading this newsletter, I can get you in for only $20 with the
Only $20 with Secret Code DZ20
Check it out to see which "Legend" is visiting a city near you. You'll find me in Orlando on Tuesday March 28, 2017 - I hope to see you there. D

GEEK TIP OF THE WEEK - Hacking The Amazon Echo
OK, this is a random thought before I sign off today. I think most folks in the USA bought an Amazon Echo Dot this year over the holidays as they quickly sold out at $39 on Amazon's website. We have one in about every room of the house right now - LaDawn is totally ready to kill me for my "geeky" habit ;~)
Anyway, here is my Amazon Echo hack. As you know Pandora Radio, my favorite streaming radio station only streams in the good ol' USA so when LaDawn and I are traveling the world I miss my Pandora.
But I discovered that you can make the Amazon Echo Dot stream Pandora from anywhere in the world. The secret to getting the Amazon Echo Dot, or any Echo device for that matter, is to set your local USA Zip Code as your location during the set up then hit the road. The down side is that if you request time or weather you'll receive the zip code you entered not your local out-of-the-USA location. Hey, a small price to pay, right? Still kind of fun.

Hey Everybody,
That's it for me today. I'm on my way to Cabo San Lucas to spend most of the week with my good friend Kent Smith. He's got that brand new super cool DJI Mavic drone and we plan to check out.
Until the next time -
Adios for now, David
