Well, it has been a very crazy time. We are now half way through our journey. We are in Frankfurt Germany having the day to rest and refresh before the long flight to South Africa this evening. Michael, Emma and I are fine.
Of course, the final week had more surprises and worries than we expected. It began last Wednesday with the fact that Emma's blood work tests were done too soon so we had to worry about whether she would be allowed to arrive in CapeTown and be accepted! We also had to change our travel plan to fly straight through Frankfurt with Emma getting a day to recover, arriving in Cape Town on Friday.
Now that we are in Frankfurt Emma's passage will be taken over by a company named Pet Air, which is reassuring at one level because we know they have done it before. She is traveling as rather fancy cargo. And the best part, her travel one way is more expensive than our round trip airfare - ah well. We kind of expected it and of course would not have it any other way!
the next post will be from Cape Town. till then wish us safe travels.
