 Leaving Africa
October 27-28, 2000
Hippity-Hop
The next morning, I caught a cab to the airport (over an hour away!) and started the
long process of flying home. I ran into Joanne and Chris and chatted briefly before
having to catch my flight. I also got a few small bottles of Amarula liqueur (a recommendation given me by one of
my seatmates on the flight to Africa)!
The flight home was rather longer than the flight back: leaving aside the large guy
next to me with bad breath, instead of the direct route, I hopped from Windhoek to Cape
Town, Cape Town to Miami, Florida, Miami to Atlanta, Georgia, and finally back to Dulles.
The whole trip back took about 24 hours: that was as bad as Australia!
Home at Last!
But I was back! And with some neat stuff to
prove it!
That was certainly one of the "rougher" trips I've taken. I wouldn't
have missed it for anything, though. There are still lots of things in Africa I'd
like to see or do: visit Cape Town, climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, see Lake Victoria.
There's so much of the world to see, and so little time!
Katja, Martina, Jan, Geraldine, Antonio, Christina, Chris,
& Joanne: Thanks for making it a wonderful trip!
