Traveling Mercies

My flights and travels were smooth overall. In fact, on every single flight there and back I didn't have anyone sitting next to me. I almost feel bad about that being so small and all. But, hey, I'll take it. My watch had broken before my trip and my phone was not representing the correct time. Plus, there is the whole jet lag issue. I remember going to bed around 8 p.m. not too concerned about waking up early. Well. When a loud noise woke me up I figured it might be close to morning. Even though I had asked for a wake up call, I was a bit paranoid. So, I called the front desk to ask, "excuse me, what time is it?" It is 1200, madame." What?!?! I was thinking it might be 5 a.m. I don't think I fell back asleep, maybe an hour? That was too bad. Besides having to pay for a bag without notice and African communication = me walking back and forth, back and forth, and almost missing my flight in South Africa, travels were super smooth. Julie picked me up from Livingstone looking super cute in a polka dot skirt, a cute necklace, and matching shoes. It was so good to see her!!
