Stranded in Johannesburg
No updates recently so I thought I'd post a quick note. It's April 18th, 2010 here in Johannesburg. We were supposed to have completed our cruise and land-based side trip (Zimbabwe) 3 days ago. Then that pesky Icelandic volcano intervened. Why should we care; isn't like Europe is much on the way, from South Africa to Arizona -- but the cruise line on which we lecture provides the airfare, but it's quite restricted -- in this case restricted to leaving from a particular city (Nairobi) and through London. Oops. We've bought [relatively] cheap tickets on Qatar Airlines, and will fly from Johannesburg to Doha, Doha to Houston, then Houston to Tucson via Denver. That's actually quite a bit shorter than our original travels, so guess we can't complain.The cruise (105 days) was wonderful. The full chronicle of it is not finished just now, but you can check it out at http://www.blessley.net/Travel/Cruises/Discovery2010/. See you there?
