The long awaited day has dawned

J and I depart for South Africa this morning. We are both tired from the early morning arising and sort of quietly fading. Coffee...I need coffee..

We leave Memphis at 10 this morning, and leave Minneapolis/St. Paul at 3. From there it is overnight to Amsterdam and we land at 6 in the morning. We will have time for a short rest and recheck luggage before our 10 am departure for Cape Town--the long let of the flight. All day and until 11 that night. KLM is a wonderful airline, though and take good care of you while you are flying.

Here's hoping the next post is from Sunny South Africa and I shot of Court, Lira, and Josh welcoming us to their house!
