... much I missed it.    So I queued up in the Delta line to check in for my flight that was scheduled to leave at 9.05PM.  When I got to the check in desk.  The lady said that I did not have a seat assignment.  Great I thought.  But I should wait until 8PM and I should get a seat assignment then.  Well 8PM rolled around, and they said “oops, we over booked, and there aren’t any other flights we can put you on, so please go over to our ticket counter ...

... to pet and take pictures with the Ambassador cheetah named Byron, who they use for many of the educational projects. It was amazing to be in face to face with some of these cheetahs and wild dogs, which could kill us in seconds if they wished. I will never forget the daunting, intense stare of a cheetah only a few feet in front of me. That is all for now....Hope everyone at home is doing well! Love you and miss you!!

... follows an exhaustive study on the links between nutrition and treatment.

... sharp teeth. They cleaned the goat bones like they were licking butter off a knife. WOW! Sometimes two lions would even fight over a piece of goat. Fantastic! Seeing a lion tear the raw muscle off of goat bones made me FEEL manly. I wish my stomach would allow me to feel 100% manly. I was pretty close to being all better though. We returned home, ate supper, and headed off to bed. The real excursion begins now. Another philosophy from Tom Robbins' book that I ...

... and it's mostly from what I have witnessed at the Haven. Our conversation was very frank and honest and gave me lots of time to think. What I have concluded is that this country is very complcated, a reflection of it's past and probably it's present postion on the international stage and a part of Africa. There is still a tremendous amount of bitterness, racism and anger which can be expected. Further there are alos many differences in every different ethnic group and race. Even ...

Confirmed plane reservation and, after looking through various options on the internet, booked accommodation for our last two nights in Johannesburg; this time nearer the airport. Then we were off to the South African Museum where culture meets science. The cultural exhibits covered difference tribes; the scientific ones animal life, geology and so forth. The most interesting exhibits for me were the photography displays. There were some striking photographs from the 1976 ...

... kids and the African driver went out a couple of weeks ago and brought a wind up radio and lamp, a bright coloured door, painted the inside a bright colour for him and installed security bars for the doors and windows as they have been broken into a couple of times and some things stolen. Apparently the African health system has two free eye clinic days each year. She was able to get him into the clinic last year for one cataract operation and ...

... in the words of an inimitable ex-partner, have been "out grazing" until now). Am still not sleeping though - someone really should review that piece of propaganda.

In the chapter on climbing Kili, he uses the word "agony" a lot. Hm. I showed C some of the ...

... to a big mall and 5-Star hotel as we thought either of these places would be the best place from which to organize a rental car. This plan worked well and we got a good weekend rate for a tiny car, but at least now we could explore JoBurg ourselves! The next morning we set off to organise flights ... hopping to shop around for a good deal. That took some time and so another day was lost in Jo'Burg. We had plans that evening to meet Andrew, a travel acquaintance we had briefly meet in ...
