how I got to south Africa alive

it all starts at yvr of course, we arrive on time to check our baggage and of course we run into problems checking in...my name is spelt wrong on my ticket. After waiting for about an hour in the check in line wefinally get through and get to our gate. all is well getting to heathrow minus the screaming baby of course. We arrive and ask around to see if it's safe to go and see buckingham palace.or big ben we were told to stay in the airport. We didn't find out where to board our plane until half an hour before so it was a mad dash for all the passengers to get to the gate. We get on our SA flight and we were so impressed by the food and how fun the flight crew was we we wondered why air Canada sucks so much. So our SA flight lasts 11.5 hours and poor Allan had to hear me throw a tantrum at hour 7 I felt so cramped and wanted off so bad I was willing to Learn to skydive. We finally arrive at cape town and am waiting for luggage Allan finds his first and the we start noticing that everybody is gone and I'm standing there with no luggage. They lost it. So no Allan and I go and eat and get him settled into our beach house. We go to bed and wake up the next morning and call the airline they've found my luggage. Yessss today was a great day I have my luggage back.
We spent the whole day shopping and site seeing in cape town. My goodness it's beautiful. Took some pictures and walked for four hours and we are going again tomorrow.
Oh and for those of you in sunny BC it has been storming since we arrived.
Well that's enough for now it's off to bed.
Miss you all.
Ps took some great pictures today.
