Pre-Departure

Hi Everyone, thanks for tuning into this blog. I am new at this so I can't make any promises, but I hope to bring friends and family along with me to South Africa through pictures and sharing experiences.

It is my intention to write about once or twice a week, but it may be more and it may be less depending on access to internet and my schedule. At least this method of communication won't clog your inbox with emails.

There is not much more to say until I reach my destination...that should be on July 10th as long as there are no ash clouds, torrential floods or general airline shinnangians. Until then, I will be busy saying good-byes and packing.

Two quick tidbits.
1. South Africa is about 7 hours ahead of Central Standard Time. So if it is noon here it is 7:00 pm there. That is, until Milwaukee "falls" back. Then Cape Town is 8 hours ahead.

2. For those of you trying to figure out Capri--it is a nickname that I have acquired and grown quite fond of...and who doesn't like a little aliteration?

Until next time,
Cape Town bound Capri
