Tomorrow is the day! My R&R (holiday / vacation) comes around again. Everyone keeps asking me, “But weren’t you only just away in the USA?”. The answer is YES I WAS! However what people fail to remember is that I was here for a full 5 months without any time off the first time around. This is just part of the catchup. Before final departure!
Time is going to be very rushed. What with flight complication out of Albania through Turkey on Turkish Airlines, I have a 29 hour layover in Istanbul. I was a bit bleak to say the least at first but after chatting with a guy here that lived in Istanbul for some time, I will be spending the day checking out some great sites which he strongly recommended! Better than hanging out in a free hotel room (as supplied by the airline) I guess.
The following day at just before midnight I get back on the plane and fly due south! Damn it’s going to be good back in Africa. I am going to be in Johannesburg briefly, Cape Town for about the same length of time, Port Elizabeth to renew my pilots license and then back to Cape Town for a while where I will be able to chill. Then hopefully off to Durban for a whistle-stop on route back to Johannesburg in order get back on that big paraffin budgie in the sky (747) and blast my way out of here for destination Albania.
I can’t wait. Some fun in the sun and good food and great drinks with awesome people. Now that’s what a holiday is all about!
