Looks like the non-rev folks will be on the same flight. That will be great.
Going through Cape Verde on the flight to Africa. Interesting...ALL THE DAKAR HOTELS WERE FULL SO THE flight staff had no where to stay. So they switched...
Delta will be flying direct to Capetown soon. 
I ended up getting a ton of shots and had a nice hour long consult with a nurse.
I sprayed my clothes with permethrin...and put some sun protector "Rit Dye" on my cotton/silk clothes.
Sorry I missed hooking up with ya.

I may have already missed you, but have fun! I will be checking my email every now and then while I'm there, so feel free to email or PM me. It looks like we're going to be in Cape Town around the same time - maybe we can get together for dinner or drinks.
I'm stopping in Dakar on the way from JFK to Jo-Burg as well - not spending the night though. Pack lightly, as it's probably going to be warm there. I'm taking mostly lightweight stuff, lightweight safari pants, shorts, hiking shoes, and shirts that I bought at REI, a dressy sundress for the nightlife in Cape Town. I've got a couple of business functions that I have to attend as well, so I have to pack some business casual clothing. Basically, I'm told that people dress there pretty much like they do in California or Florida.
I am SO ready for this trip! WhoooHoooo!
Hope your vaccinations went well - I've had a bit of reaction from mine, but nothing too bad.
