So we are heading to South Africa to visit Wayne's family. In 8 more sleeps we will be on an 8 hour flight to Kuala Lumpur for a 3 night stay then a 11 hour flight to Cape Town then a 3 week stay in Stellenbosch and then we turn around and do the same in reverse back home...... Great ... wow....I hear you say.....but we also have a 3 year old, a 9 year old, a 21 year old, and grandparents in tow ( thats a lot of different needs to be accommodating for ...)......mmmmmmmm so  while spending a beautiful xmas in Africa sounds soooo wonderful and adventuress its the planes, trains buses, taxis, cars passports, airports, baggage and all that comes along with travel...... that is.... how shall I put it ...ummm.... tricky!!


(Nahhhhh .....Just saying all that to make people feel like they are not missing out....Its going to be amazing....)
