We flew for approximately 12 hours from NYC to Dubai and here we are awaiting our connecting flight to Jo'burg. Although I can be pretty restless during long trips, Emirates was a great airline to fly--spacious, good food and great in-flight entertainment (tons of current movies, tv shows and music from which to choose).
We are currently at the charming Khayamanzi Bed & Breakfast in Hartbeesport, South Africa. Rotarians from the Brits club welcomed us with a wonderful braai (barbecue). We enjoyed a delicious meal and got to know some Rotarians and their children (fun kids!(. On the way from the airport, one of the Rotarians that came to greet us noticed that I'm coming down with some pesky sickness, so he phoned his wife and asked her to brings meds for me! We arrived at the B&B and she had a bag full of things to help me! Already some great hospitality :-)
We have to be ready by 5:50 AM, as we're headed to a game reserve, so I really should be sleeping, but I got so much sleep on the plane rides (if I wasn't eating, I was sleeping!) that I feel pretty well-rested. Besides, I can't imagine NOT wanting to wake up to go see African wildlife!
