Jo'burg

I've landed safely in Johannesburg, and I've checked into my hotel. However, I am without the bulk of my luggage, because it is in the basement of Jo'burg's airport in the "sorting system", and I am told it is supposed to meet me in Maseru tomorrow. Hmmm . . . we'll see.

It turns out that I can easily survive a 16 hour flight, especially when I get to eat Chick-Fil-A (YUM!) before, and then get a 3-seat row all to myself. This is especially great, considering I was on one of those planes where business elite class gets to lay out like a bed, so I was super jealous boarding, but I basically got the same thing back in coach. Hah! The TV's were broken, so movie's weren't available, but I had no problem occupying myself with reading for fun, reading for work, listening to music, drinking free drinks, and sleeping for 8 hours with the help of an ambien and a little chronic sleep deprivation.

I'm in the hotel waiting for room service, and most of the stations on this TV seem to be South African soap operas, so I think I'll do a little more reading continued from my flight. Tomorrow morning, I'll board a puddle-jumper to Lesotho, my "home" for the next month. I can't wait to meet all the docs and see the clinic and get started.

Miss everyone already! Lots of love.
