Stuck in Africa

---

So stupid Irene has foiled our travel plans. Our flight into JFK was cancelled, which we are definitely happy about since travelling in the hurricane didn't sound too appealing to us. After about an hour on the phone with Boscov's Travel (thank goodness for free 1-800 calls on skype) we managed to get the flight rescheduled in a way that doesn't require us to stay in scary Johannesburg for 3 nights. So instead of getting in on Sunday as planned and having 2 days to acclimate before starting work, now we are getting in on Wed, missing a day of work and are going to be very tired for work on Thurs. At least we're missing all the natural disaster drama in the US this month and will get 3 more days to enjoy this beautiful country. Miss you all lots and please stay very safe during the hurricane.
