We are off on our first trip back to the States in nearly a year. Our itinerary is Harare (Zimbabwe) to Johannesburg (South Africa) (2 hours), 3 hour layover in Johannesburg, Johannesburg to Dakar (Senegal) (8 hours), 1 hour layover in Dakar, Dakar to Washington D.C. (8 hours), 2 hour layover in Washington D.C., Washington D.C to Orlando (2 hours). This is daunting, even to us and we are pretty well traveled folks. 26 hours of travel is never a good time, though we try to make it as painless as possible with every possible piece of electronic gear known to man. We had a total of 4 iPods, 3 Nintendo DS, 1 Kindle, 1 computer and 1 dvd player.
We arrived in South Africa right in the middle of the world cup. The airport was beautiful, renovations really went to plan. Our most important purchase while in Johannesburg were vuvuzelas, the South Africa noise makers. What is a soccer game without enough noise to deafen 20,000 people!
I will next surface on the blog in Orlando. Wish us luck!
Love, Shannon
