The following blog post was written on the evening of the 7th of August while in Cape Town!
It is just about midnight as I sit here writing this, which will most likely be my last blog posting from Cape Town. I have a shuttle arriving tomorrow to pick me up for the airport at 7:30am…and after that I have one long journey covering many hours and many miles.
I thought I would share my travel plans with you in order to make you properly sympathetic:
Friday, 7:30am South Africa (12:30am Thursday night/Friday morning in Chicago) – leave hostel for Cape Town airport
Friday, 9:50am South Africa (2:50am Friday Chicago) – depart Cape Town for Joburg
Friday, 12:15-6:40 South Africa (5:15-11:40am Chicago) LAYOVER in Joburg (boo, long time)
Friday, 6:40pm South Africa (11:40am Friday Chicago) – depart Joburg for Dakar, Senegal
Saturday, 4:30am South Africa (9:30 pm Friday Chicago) – land in Dakar
Saturday, 5:30am South Africa (10:30pm Chicago) – leave Dakar for Atlanta
Saturday, 2:05om South Africa (7:05am Chicago) – land in Atlanta
Saturday, 3:55pm South Africa (8:55am Chicago) – leave Chicago
Saturday, 6:00pm South Africa (11:00am Chicago) – land in Chicago
Get bags and find a place to either: A) fall asleep B) Eat Mexican food C) Enjoy the warmth of summer or D) all of the above
All said and done, when I leave for the airport in seven and a half hours I am looking at over a day and a half before I get to my destination. I am hoping the puking lady isn’t next to me on the return flight.
Talk to all you Americans soon.

Your return trip sounds exhausting. I can't even fathom how tired you must be once you get to Chicago. I wish you the best of luck!
thank you so much for keeping us posted for the duration of your trip. I wish you a safe and speedy return home!
oh my gosh. that sounds long & exausting. have a safe trip back home! :)
I hope your trip wasn't too tiresome! I bet you are already in chicago and everything, but I wanted to know if you got my letter. I sent it to your original house around June 15th, and i believe you left for chicago later that month. Let me know, and thanks for creating this blog! You really made it interesting and fun.
Hi Ms. Specht,
I is your mysterious advisee. I would have loved to have that travel schedule. That is incredible that you went to only 9 airports. When I fly, I usually have to go to fifteen at least. Next time you go to ONLY nine airports, call me up. I would like to see what it's like.
Your Advisee,
????????????
Well I assent to but I think the brief should acquire more info then it has.
