South Africa…Here We Come Again!

I am sitting here on Christmas Eve watching the clock cross the midnight mark into Christmas day and I can't believe in a couple of days we are heading to South Africa for our third and final time. If there were no reason for Christmas, there would have been no reason to go to there in 2011. And now that we have been there for last two years, there are numerous reasons and they all have names. I can't wait to see my friends and celebrate a New Year with them as I have done for the past two years. Though saddened by his death and yet immensely joyful for what Nelson Mandela chose his life to represent , I also can't wait to catch a part of the celebration that is going on in South Africa in his honor...I think it will add to the flavor of our visit. I bid all of you a wonderful Christmas. Much love, Jeff
