Ready to go

19 April 2023

Hi Shingy,

I am ready to go. Do you see I have my own backpack for this trip? Mpanzi made me two new jackets and a scarf to wear as the occasion requires.  I will wear red during the day, blue for the evenings, and white for sleeping.

We checked and rechecked our gear and travel documentation. Punda is a nervous flyer. Thus I need to remind him to stay calm. I like this line from the movie The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel "Everything will be alright in the end, if it is not alright then it is not yet the end."

We will soon fly to Pretoria on the first leg of our adventure. There we will celebrate Mwambo's birthday and have a baby shower for Malaika. I will write to you afterward about that.

Cheers

Msafiri
