2-5-2007
We leave Thursday for 32 days in South Africa. We end up with 2 for 1 tickets from South Africa Air at a cost of $890 each. If we had started earlier, we could have gotten the tickets on SKYAUCTION for about $650. We have booked a car for 31 days manual with air for R4,647. This was through Carrental.com. This price was about $200 less than HERTZ.

I think that we have a 7 day apartment rental for R3,950.

The plan is to stay in Johannesburg for the first week. Get over the jet lag. Read up on SA. Maybe find some cheaper KRUGER rentals and adventures.
