next stop south africa!

i leave in a couple days...it's still very much a figment of my imagination at this point. it will be such a welcome departure from new york and its current routines, not to mention my absolute delight at spending two weeks with krista after a prolonged absence.
our planned itinerary:
nov 17 &18 - cape town
nov 19 &20- rent car, drive 5ish hours to knysa, stay at 'southern comfort western style horse ranch' (!)
nov 21- drive to dijembe (maybe?) and spend the night
nov 22- drive to outshoorn -- i look most forward to this place, its the home of the ostrich farms from the great feather boom of the late 1800's and subsequent crash in 1914. its very interesting (see link above...)
nov 23- drive to stellenbosch, home of many a winery.
nov 24- back in cape town, where we are staying in an 'art hotel' called daddy long legs in the 'protea' room (our first choice was the freshroom- we have a history of polka dot motel rooms, i'll try to put up a pic for reference)
nov 25- fly to johannesburg and on to kruger safari
nov 26-30 - safari @ kruger
nov 30- fly home
its going to be a doozy of a trip. can't wait.
