My daughter Karen is in South Africa and trying to get her arms around the issue of ‘jet lag.’ And although she has not been to this part of the world before, she definitely came prepared: baggage that is virtually indestructable, eye masks & travel pillow for sleeping on planes and a phone that will definitely operate in South Africa. These may sound like simple things, but is amazing how many experienced travelers make their journey that much more difficult by forgetting to plan ahead. I am sure Karen will write something on her blog about all that is going on.
Karen has a lot going on in the months ahead… but she sounds enthusiastic and excited about the new South Africa. Afterall, Cape Town Fashion week is not all that far off!
As for me, I discovered the best phone rate to South Africa is on IDT and all incoming calls to Karen are free… and we had our first 20 minute conversation for $4. Even Dads need to hear from their girls.
