Go shopping of course! Yesterday we arrived safely in Johannesburg where we were greeted by Glenda who helped us to our hotel and then we had the rest of the day to ourselves. The easiest thing to do was to take the high speed train that goes directly from the airport to Sandton where there is a huge shopping complex and lots of restaurants. Even though we were exhausted, we had a nice time wandering and looking and having a lovely lunch outdoors on the Nelson Mandela Square.
We battled to stay awake until 11pm and then slept in this morning. Today I teaching a class to retailers and then tomorrow the event begins!
This is so exciting! Thanks for sharing! Have fun for me, too!

you know you aren't in Kansas anymore when the thing that is advertised is chicken livers and cappuccino...hmmm...maybe Starbucks could branch out into cultural specialties!
Looks like you are having a great time, like you always do on your travels!! :) xo

Happy to see your luggage arrived, too. Looks exciting. Interesting that you chose french fries and a sandwich...where's your 'adventurous spirit? (Jeremy might try the other 'specialties'!!!)

Hi Debbie, Just want to say thank you so much for a fantastic class in Jhb. I also traveled far (but not as far as you), from Malawi to be at the convention and believe me, it was worth every mile and penny. Have a great week and enjoy Cape Town - it is beautiful.
