Booked flights!

It has finally come to a date!

We've collected our passports with the fixed visa labels and booked flights with Flight Special in Mossel Bay (Tel:0446954113 Fax:044695289 eMail: lelanie@flightspecial.co.za). I can add that of all the websites and agents we've approached for quotes, they were the best by about R800!

The plan is to leave with Emirates airlines from Cape Town to Dubai on Tuesday (13 Jan) at around 18:00 and to arrive in Perth on 15 Jan at around 2am - all bright and shiny! (Note: it's better to rent a car from Budget Car Rentals for the entire period that you'll need it than to rent for a week here, a day there, 2 here, etc. Of all the places we've been renting cars, I can honestly vouch for Budget to be the best, and also very competitive with their pricing. Imperial is second with a short step, but steer clear of unknown names and brands - we've had some horrendous experiences!)

Some things still need to be done: get Aussie $'s cash, pack suitcases for final trip, hair cuts (he-he), etc.

At this stage we're beginning to really do the going away blues. We've decided to trip around Cape Town today to see some spots and take photos. Till later, mate.
