The airline charged me for overweight bags (which were not overweight, at the same weight, coming, and won't be again going, so how does that work?!). Then, in the airport, the airline made me check a carry on which meant scrambling to reorganize it and praying that it would make the flight. Then I come to find out that in Namibia, they gave me a Standby boarding pass for a flight I'd booked a month ago! OMG!
Ok, now I'm here in SA. Thank GD, it's warmer ( I was really worried that it would be colder, per weather.com, but they were wrong about Namibia, and thankfully, wrong here too). I won't say that it's warm, per se, but I'm not shivering at the moment. There are two areas here, and I was supposed to be booked into the tent camps for three weeks, but it turns out, for the first week at least, I'll be up in the main site, which means I'm sleeping indoors, with electricity and running water- yipee! I had asked about running water, at a min, at the tent camp, but I guess I wasn't specific enough, bec. yes, it has running COLD water. Who would think to ask if the running water is both HOT and COLD?! To get a hot shower, you have to boil water, then put it in a bag in your shower. OMG-what am I in for next week?! (I'm not sure yet where I'll be during the third week, it all depends on their bookings).
OK, for tonight at least, I think I"ll be able to thaw out.
Good night,
