Well, my Europe blog seemed to be a success so here goes another one! As I'm sure everyone who is reading this knows, I am headed to South Africa to volunteer on community and child care initiatives in/around Cape Town for the next 4 weeks.
Since I'm not sure how my access to Internet will be once I arrive, I wanted to get this started while I wait in London so I can just update as needed. However, Heathrow hasn't gotten on board with the whole "free wifi" thing so since I only have 30 minutes of free usage here's a summary of the last 19 hours -
1 faulty piece of flight paperwork. My ticket out of Boston said British Airways, but in reality it was operated through American - they're in totally different buildings at the airport and most of you know how I feel about humidity haha
2 delayed flights. Thankfully there was a nice cafe near my gate and my red eye flight had personal TV's. Yes Mom, I looked for NCIS. No, they didn't have it. Good thing I got a great book recommendation!
My one and only bag (yep, that big one that almost made me fall over the first time I put it on) got left at JFK...that means I get to go shopping my first day in Cape Town, right?!
Word to the wise - I may not be the best travel buddy, but I keep things interesting!
Oh well, gotta go with the flow. I will update this as often as I can (hopefully once a week with pictures, and much more exciting news of course) I should also be reachable via Facebook and email. Time to find some yummy British food...or the Starbucks I'm sitting across from :) Let the adventure continue! Adios.
I wrote a comment and the blog ate it! Can't find it, anywhere...so here goes again. If this is a repeat just delete it. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt was great seeing you at Joy Camp, and I hope we can do a repeat relaxed visit next summer! Thanks for making time to do a blog as you spend the next weeks in Capetown. I love your Spain blog, and look forward to sharing your journey!
Love from us both,
Janey and Dick
