Heading back to winter... in South Africa

I have to tell you that at my age I should be heading more and more into hot flash territory but instead I seem to be having a hard time dealing with cold. This past winter in Quebec was very cold and here we are less than one month away from summer and it's still bloody cold, if you ask me. So what's my solution to all this? How about a two week vacation in South Africa as they are heading into winter. I can't actually believe that I'll be leaving the relative warmth of Quebec in summer to go to SA in winter. enough complaining, because I am going to SA after all.

I'm leaving on June 7th accompanied by my sister Jackie, my brother-in-law Gerry and my niece Melanie. We are flying through Amsterdam to Jo'burg and then taking a domestic flight from Jo'burg to Capetown. It should only take us a few days to get to our destination of choice which is Hermanus, SA.

What's the special occasion? My niece Melissa (Jackie and Gerry's daughter) is getting married to Barry in Hermanus.

I'm really looking forward to the trip as this will be my first time on the African continent.

I'll be back with more exciting news once I hit this new continent.

Later folks :)
