Turns out the plan to rendezvous at the airport with Lou ran into a significant snag when her flight out of SFO this morning was cancelled. After two failed standby attempts, and an opportunity to enjoy some free food and wine at the American Airlines Admirals Club courtesy of some new best friends, she finally just boarded a flight as Patti and I were finishing lunch at Jason’s Deli after she picked me at the airport. Now it looks like our party will commence at Alice’s after Lou arrives at DFW after 8PM this evening.
Queen Mary 2’s arrival in the Port of Dakar, Senegal was heralded in the local press and greeted with ceremony. Our own excursion took us on a coach journey through the streets of the capital city to visit a Wolof village and the shore of Lake Retba, the salty lake famed for an intense pink color.
Today’s safari adventure transported us out into the Dorob National Park to have up close encounters with little creatures that are well adapted to the extreme heat and lack of water in the Namib Desert.
With a UNESCO World Heritage Site, two national parks, dozens of museums, and hundreds of tours offered in the Cape Town area there is more than plenty to do. For our two day visit we opted to concentrate on African wildlife visiting the Aquila Private Game Reserve and the Boulders Beach Penguin Colony for a wonderful chance to these fabulous animals in their own habitat.
Arrived to DFW. Thrilled to get to do an Ireland trip with my sisters! Can’t wait!
