This all started with a casual turn, and maybe too many martinis, of Julie’s head and a casual question to me…would you want to go to Africa? And that’s all it took was for us to win the auction at the American Alpine Club’s charity event and here we are…about to travel for the next 30 hours to end up in Cape Town, South Africa.
The itinerary includes 5 nights in Cape Town, 5 nights at the Zulu Nyala Game Lodge and then 2 nights in Zambia at the Victoria Falls.
Jules and I will be able to check this trip off of our bucket lists.
Our flight to Atlanta was uneventful…which is exactly what one wants.
We have boarded the flight to Joburg…yes…that is what it is called…and Jules is in her pod. Pic to follow…if I can work the technology…God help me.
Ok…so I lost all of my data that I typed on the plane…whatever… But business class was unbelievable!!! The food, pillows, blanket and bed were awesome. (Julie here… Laur who lost 90% of what we posted spent 4hours of our flight teaching a woman how to use the touch screen…. I fault Laurie for her lack of technical skills and not the 80 year woman, as touch screen is an ageless skill – I decided to dress as a truck driver on the top (as you can see above) and an out of shape 46 year old on the bottom with black stretch pants – yes I do own a full length mirror for all you young ones with greAt bodies – I picked comfort over age appropriate).
