Heading Back Home

This is a quick message to let you know that all is well. We're in the Cape Town airport waiting for our flight to Johannesburg. Yes, we're headed back home after a fantastic holiday.

The 12 day safari was better than we even could imagine. We most enjoyed our time at the Mara West Lodge and in the Western Serengeti in Kensington's tented camp (despite the Tsetse flies in this part of the Serengeti). As you can imagine, phone and internet service was practically non-existent during our safari. We saw more than 170 species of animals, birds and reptiles/amphibians and watched the incredible Great Migration of zebras and wildebeest. Two 8 Gig cards later....

Cape Town even held up to it's reputation as a world vacation spot. Robben Island was memorable. Jennifer Hudson was onsite filming a movie about Winnie Mandela while we were there. The winelands and the V&A Waterfront were also spectacular. We'll tell you all about it once we settle back in. We have lots of spectacular photos to share with you too.
