(Also known as “Coming Home”) It’s been a whirlwind since landing stateside a few (or more) weeks ago. There was a birthday and Thanksgiving, then unpacking and settling in, then THE HOLIDAYS (which is always overwhelming, even without the trauma of trans-Pacific relocation).

What a fabulous way to travel: security checkpoints that weren’t oppressive; delicious 3-course lunch with wine; and comfortable chairs next to […]
Travel to: Cape Town
