We have finally arrived at our last destination before
returning home to the US . Today we left Cape Town
and flew to Johannesburg .
The travel process went smoothly and there were no glitches. Still it was a tiring day. We finished packing, loaded the car, checked
out of the house, drove to the airport, returned the rental car, got all the needed documentation for
the insurance to cover the scrape on the side of the car, checked in, and
boarded the plane. Whew! That was just
to leave. Then we had to do most of that
in reverse after we landed – get our baggage, rent a car, drive to our new
house, check-in, eat a snack, go to the grocery store, unpack...
Miranda and Miriam did pretty well during the long day of
travelling. I had new sticker/activity
books for them to do on the plane.
Miriam was a little fearful on the flight. She was scared when the plane bounced around
due to turbulence and she didn’t like the landing process. She also didn’t understand why she had to
keep her seat belt on when seated.
However, she was very pleased to eat lunch on the airplane and after she
got off she was proud of the fact that she had flown on an airplane.
The apartment we rented in Johannesburg is nice and is in a great
location. However, it is not decorated
with children in mind. It has attractive
but breakable decorations. The sinks are
stylish but the girls can’t reach the faucets on their own. Of course, Miranda and Miriam don't mind,
I’m the one who is concerned about it.
Still this will suit our needs for our home away from home for the
next few days.
