We left the US on January 11th... aboard Alaska Airlines heading for Seattle. I was a bit confused with us flying North in order to go way South, but that happens if you take the cheapest flight possible! We headed for Amsterdam next and then Johannesburg...
Four parents stood waiting as we came through customs at midnight!! It was absolutely amazing to see them again...a year suddenly felt so much longer! And so started our South African social roller coaster.
We spent the first 10 days in our hometown, Pretoria, seeing family and friends and sorting out a year's worth of admin. After that we were off to Uvongo, a town on the east coast. The weather was a bit dreary, but we had a wonderful time with the Strydom family (playing loads games and even inventing a few)!
Just after Christmas, we headed for Brenton-on-Sea, a beach quite a bit further south to spend with the Jooste-family!
I absolutely fell in love with our little niece Gerda-Marie, and our nephew Nico is cuter than ever! He is three years old...
A lot more happened, Cape Town, hometown again etc etc... We arrived back in California on January the 12th. A wonderful month indeed!
