Today we left for South Africa. I still can't believe we are getting this opportunity. After the Spring Game, we headed north to Washington D.C. and spend some time with our friends, Jordan & Charlotte before we went the the airport. Since we were going to spend a lot of time traveling, we decided to challenge ourselves by packing everything in carry on backpacks for our trip.
We left DC on Sunday evening, our first flight was a quick eight hour flight to Amsterdam. We spent our layover getting a little sleep before hopping on our eleven hour flight to Johannesburg, South Africa. We were so excited when we landed in Johannesburg. Our driver was there waiting to take us to our hotel once we got off the plan. By the time we left the airport, it was after 10 pm on the 22nd. So it was dark driving to our hotel. We didn't get a chance to see any of the city on our drive.
We stayed at the African Moon Corporate Guest House. It was not your traditional hotel, it was much more like a Bed & Breakfast. When our drive dropped us off, he walked us immediately to our two bedroom guest room with a little kitchenette. The place was really cute.
We tried to get a little sleep that night but between the many flights, six hour time change, different country and all the excitement, we didn't get much sleep at all. In the morning, we would start our four day, three night safari!
