Once upon a time during the Gung-ho days of rat race and climbing the corporate ladder, the powers that be in England decided the location of our annual convention to be Mombasa - an hour flight from Kenya's capital Nairobi.
The big boss had either ran out of venues or had not been to the African Safari, I thought. We did have an office in Capetown*, but not in East Africa, so what other reason could there be for transporting his team three- quarter way around the world.
*(Sadly our colleague from South Africa was not allowed to attend the meeting - it was at the height of apartheid then).
As the only attendee from the Far East to these meetings I was excited at the prospect of seeing a giraffe in person. The problem however was how to get from this end of the world to the other.
