Cape Town anyone?

We just had a wonderful talk with our daughter Hannah yesterday morning at 3:00am. She explained that the phones are often tied up during the mornings and evenings with other travelers calling the states. While I remember some of the call she sounded thrilled about the trip, and the other girls. They have become quite a team apparently. They did get to witness a lion taking down a gazelle while in Kruger NP as well as viewing all the big 5 african beasts.

Hannah went to South America last semester with TTS and is a senior this year. She lives to travel and has a huge interest in cultures and international poliltics. She loves skiing soccer scuba diving and having a drivers license. She to is heavy in planning college visits and international relations degrees/courses etc. She very much enjoyed Carlton College in Minnisota, as well as Georgetown in DC.

Just curious who might be planning on the Cape Town trip next month.
I will be traveling with Pellagia Mulliba a Zimbabwean women that works with an organization called Partners Worldwide. Partners is a business to business mentoring NGO that connects US business people with developing country business' in hopes of making connections and sharing good business practices. She is a very close friend of our family and especially our daughter Hannah. If fact Pellagia has a lot to do with Hannahs initial interest in traveling abroad.

So we will be visiting the girls for the 4 days in cape town and hope to connect ahead of time with anyone else planning to go. Unfortunately we will not be enjoying the adventures in the game parks. We will be heading to Kenya to connect with Pellagias work.

Love to read about other reports.
Thanks
Charlie Royce
