Our trip started Saturday Oct 2nd in the evening travelling stand by Air Canada to England. We arrived in London on Sunday morning and stayed at a hotel to recover, with a total of 0 hours of sleep in the plane. Sunday we went to the London Heathrow airport again standby for the flight with British Airways to Cape town South Africa. After trying 2 flights and running between 2 terminal, and if you have been to Heathrow you know this is no easy task, with 3 kids and about 12 bags between 2 families! We finally got on the last flight to go to Johannesburg we were good to go and had about 15min to get through security and get to the gate. My husband, daughter and I should be on video on how security check should be, be organized and know what to do, no "dilly dallying" We ran about 10 foot ball fields with about 6 escalators to get to the gate. We were red, sweaty and exhausted, but made it, unfortunately my brother and sister-in-law have a different story how there evening turned out. We arrived after 11 hours of flight to Johannesburg with again 0 sleep for me to mass disorganization. We spent the day in the airport trying to get to Cape town and I felt like fainting from exhaustion, but we finally got out, and all this chaos made sense when we walked in to Kia Ora. My father-in-law( passed away this summer and why we are coming to South Africa), had a plan and it was to appreciate the energy and pit-falls to get to your pure happiness and what is truly important in life. Take a look at the photos below and see where my heaven is!
