This isn't Kansas

What was it Dorothy said to her dog Toto? "We're not in Kansas any more". I know how she felt, and I only felt that way one other time when I was 19 years old and 10,000 miles away from home. At least there was only a four hour time difference not an nine hour difference or starting today and eight hour difference. That means that right now as I type it is 3:49 pm mountain standard time but it here as I type it is 11:50 pm and I have been awake since 5:00 am. The thought that you are soooo far away from home is a downer for the first few days. If I started walking now it would take along time to get home.

I am trying to get pictures but I can't load them. The internet is german based and I cannot read german yet. I don't know if anyone heard yet about my adventure in Johnannesburg but it was one that most travelers fear just traveling in the states on business. If you miss a flight or lose luggage, you get a new ticket and figure out what to do or where to stay. That is what happened to me in Joeberg SA as they say here and it was mind boggling. I got new flight arrangements and then a motel or somebodies upstairs appartment where they give lodging, up at 3:30 and to the air port so I don't miss the 6:00 flight to Botswana. All this with Jet lag and not much sleep. I don't think I have slept much maybe four-five hours per day. As it is not midnight I will leave you with this little post and hopefully get picture out on the next post. By the way, I almost got hit in the head by a swarm of bees looking at core. There must have been 10,000 bees in the air looking for a new home. Couldn't tell you if they were Africanized or not but it was interesting and James should like it.
