Wow, some heart-stopping moments, Warren, which you seem to collect every time you travel overseas! A fascinating account of your trip - I really enjoyed it! Hope you got to go up the cable way today!
Just got back from Table Mountain, Jean. What a great afternoon – warm sunshine, mild breeze, 20 to 30 miles visibility well beyond Table View. Met so many great human beings. Some of their stories – and some wonderful pictures – will be in your in box on Tuesday morning.
Wow. You are my hero. I made my last flight 8 years ago, with no Covid about, but with the typical travel difficulties. Compared to what you experienced mine was a breeze. However, I made the decision to give it up. (On the other hand I have no relatives outside the US.) I hope you are having a marvelous time and when returning to the US you have an uneventful trip.
Don’t give it up, Shannon. I confessed in my story that six months ago I, too had “given it up.” It took extraordinary motivation (call it guts, if you will) for me to put aside my fear and say “Do it! Now!” That’s why, metaphorically, I had to make the decision, get the ticket and rush to the airport … running just ahead of the FEAR gremlins. Read again the bottom of my article where you’ll find that as I settled into my seat on the apron at LAX, that fear evaporated like an evil spirit leaving my body … and so far the trip has been fabulous! No regrets. A wise person I met today shared his secret: “Life is not a rehearsal.” Ponder that!
You’re just lucky some COVIDIOT didn’t attack the cabin crew over being asked to put their mask on. Maybe that’s just an American thing … stupid idiots who don’t care about protecting themselves and others from infection. It’s totally uncivilized!
How right you are! It’s no secret that vast swaths of the US are “uncivilized” … they voted for the biggest liar in the world, 70 million of them! He staged a COUP and they still love him. NEANDETHALS!

Excellent! Thanks Warren, so glad you enjoyed the excursion up "our" mountain!
