I did several errands this morning, all successful. Because it has been so unusual to have everything go right and efficiently here, I want do document this moment! The errands were:
(1) go to De Jager's to buy a new tie for Mark's school uniform
(2) go to Washington Cleaners to pick up some laundry
(3) go to Standard Bank to temporarily change our withdrawl limits so that we can cover expenses for my mom and dad this week
(4) go to van der Stel Liquors to recharge my parking card
All this happened as planned! Whoo Hoo!
I also received confirmation of my flight back to the U.S. I'll be leaving South Africa on 9 January 2009 and back in Michigan on 10 January 2009. I'll be traveling through Doha, Qatar of all places.
