Day 14 started with a morning trip to Victoria Falls. We were told to be sure to have a raincoat, umbrella, and shoes with rubber soles. I would sugges that a person visiting the falls wear a bathing suit, tennis shoes, and bring a towel. There is ... Read more >

I don't really know what day of the trip this is. Actually, on Sunday, 3/21, we flew from Johannesburg to Victoria Falls, Zimbawe. The airport in Zimbawe is a long runway and an old concrete building. It's a little unsettling. But anyway, the Victoria ... Read more >

The open air game ride this morning resulted in a seeing a
herd of elephant cross the road (to get to the other side, of course) and it
was wonderful to watch the babies hanging on to mamas. An additional surprise ... Read more >

I’ve had some Internet problems so I wasn’t able to post for a few days. I hope I can remember all that we have done.
We did a game ride in Hulhulwe Park where we saw elephant, rhino, zebra, giraffe and a variety of birds. It is a lot of fun to go ... Read more >

Today was the day to get out of the city and do the wine
country tour. The wine was not

and Franschhoek. The Dutch influence ... Read more >

Capetown: Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday
My baggage arrived Wednesday night so once that occurred I

ocean.... Read more >

The journey began today with a flight to JFK in New York. The weather was perfect but it was obvious from the very long line of snow plows on the tarmac that they have been battling the snow, as we all saw on TV. Arriving at the hotel, we met up with ... Read more >

This week I began preparing for my trip to South Africa. I am not
really excited about this phase, as it requires shots and pills.
