Atlanta Thunderstorms Prove Challengin...

Hi all. Barb here again. Writing from a challenging keyboard in the Atlanta airport. We've got travelers all over the place. Henry headed out early routing through Detroit Amsterdam and Nairobi. He is holding down the fort in Jo'burg.. Rosemary and Adia headed out yesterday and met weather challenges. THey are still enroute. The Milwaukee contingent was diverted to Chattanooga. We're still awaiting word on the flights carrying the Kesters and Allie. Meredith and I are in pile o people now residing at ATL. The friendly voices softly announces delay upon delay with apologies for the inconvenience. Its air travel at its best. No doubt we will all find our way there, evidently not as smoothly as we all envisioned. As best I can tell,all are still happy. Groovy!

Gettin' ready to go

Hi visitors. Barb here. With a few Group 1 travelers en route, the majority of us head out tomorrow, Friday, July 31 at 8pm-ish Eastern Time from Atlanta. And with hours to go before we board, there is much to do (get blog set up, pack, etc.). Our first stop is Durban primarily to crash - though we've got some mighty fine digs at the Tradewinds Lodge (www.tradewindslodge.co.za) if you care to check it out. Too bad we'll have only about 12 hours there before heading to Eshowe to see the schools and meet students and teachers. Jump right in!

We'll do our best to post frequently even though we'll be sharing one computer and our access to the internet is often spotty. Salani kahle (stay well in Zulu). ~~ Barb
