We're here....

In case anyone is wondering, it's a really long flight...

But we are all here - at least all but one who was not on the JFK-Johannesburg flight.

The flight left on time and the airline was perfectly nice - individual video screens with lots of choices for movies and TV shows. 14 1/2 hours later, we landed in J-burg. Alan, our national guide, along with our Australian delegates, were waiting to meet us. By the time we all cleared customs and changed money, it was about 10 a.m. - too early to check in at the hotel. So, a bunch of tired and scraggly delegates and guests got dropped off at a really nice mall for lunch and to browse the shops. We got the hotel about 1:30 p.m., very grateful to see a bed!

After a nap and clean up, we will all meet for dinner this evening. Then, the meetings and touring start tomorrow.

Can't wait!
