Planning with Planners

I have learned a few things about planning adventure travel with folks who are responsible for detailed planning & execution in their daily work lives.

1) All planning quota is met or exceeded at work
2) Email is a one way communication mechanism
3) If you want something done, bribery is the only workable alternative

I consider someone in on the trip if they buy airline tickets. We are therefore down to 2 travelers from 4. I consider this a bit ironic as I planned on some attrition and therefore had 6 tentative and 2 possible backups.

At least at this point, we aren't too far past the deposits. Sigh.
