Today in brief:
Tracy's final piece of luggage arrived today. Yeah!
South African banks are a real pain in the neck. Much of this country's business is conducted via online account transfers. We need a resident account to do transfers. We currently have a non-resident account. To convert from a non-res account to a res account, I need some documentation. Today, I showed up with (horror) COPIES of the needed documents. Not good enough. So, I have to get the originals during meetings on Monday. Then, back to the bank. Arrrrgh!
Our visitors Cal and Karen arrived safely from the U.S. today. They're in transit to Malawi and will stay with us for a couple days. We did lots of planning for their touring today.
And, I had a 4-way conference call on Skype today with Stellenbosch, Los Angeles, Nevada, and Utah participating. It worked really great! I was really surprised. Sound quality was good and no more latency than when I'm in Michigan. Whether its Skype or iChat, it looks like we have a good way to communicate at our house.
