We have Arrived!

Only took 3 days, but we (and our bags!) arrived in Capetown on Christmas Day.

The highlights of the trip...we arrived at Seatac at 3:45am on the 23rd for our 6am flight. Barely got to the gate on time due to chaos at the airport. We got on the plane and 2 hours later got off the plane still in Seatac. We spent a total of 14 hours at Seatac and then finally got on a plane to SFO where we sprinted as fast as possible and got our flight to London. We had a total of 18 minutes from the moment we got off one flight until the next flight departed (and wouldn't you know that flight was on time!). We made it!

In London, we got to have a Christmas Eve snack with Jo, Penny, Tony, and Lewis. Which made up for all of the delays.

But that is all behind us and we are here now...We arrived to the most lovely Guesthouse in the wine country an hour outside of Capetown. Truly a bit of paradise.

"Christmas Lunch" which is the tradition in England as well as here was spent at a quaint restaurant located in a wine cellar.

Photos to follow.

So glad to hear you made it! I hope the trip home is much less eventful than the trip there. Have fun!
