South Africa, February & March, 2007

Just ten days ago Denny and I came across a 2-for-1 for flights to South Africa.  Since I have a high school buddy, Carlene, living in Mosselbaai, and it is VERY, VERY cold here in Jackson this winter, we looked into it and WOW! here we go!  (Monday, Feb. 5th!)  I am thinking that having less than two weeks to prepare has some real advantages (and a few disadvantages)!    We'll be 5 weeks there...Carlene will pick us up in Cape Town and show us around that city for a few days before we head up the coastline along the Garden Route to her home in Mosselbaai.  We'll use her home as a base for the next three weeks.  She has a zillion recommendations for things to do, places to go, animals to see, etc.  We'll fly back to Johannesburg March 6 and spend the last week in Kruger National Park, driving it like we would Yellowstone.  I"ll have a digital camera with me this year so I hope to be able to download immediately and have the pictures uploaded with our journal once or twice a week.   So put us on your toolbar and check in now and again.  Take care, our friends!   Love, Denny & Sally
