“Sometimes it's worth lingering on the journey
for a while before getting to the destination.”
Our flights where scheduled for January 23rd, so
that morning with all my bags packed and all the sad goodbyes, ready to go, I
took my first flight from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town. The flight went really
well, however when I arrived at Cape Town International, the lady at the front
desk gave me news of Snow Storm Jonas,
The snow blizzard that happened only a day before our departure. To cut a long
story short we all landed up staying in JHB for 3 extra days before departing
to JFK international. After a very long 16 hour flight we finally arrived and
it was freezing!
For some of us it was the first time seeing snow, I guess it
wasn't such a bad start to our trip. With our flight being delayed, we went from
having a three hour layover from New York to Fort Lauderdale, to a ten hour
layover, which in turn wasn't the end of the world because all I did was watch
series and eat American food.
The flights to Fort Lauderdale left at 5:15pm and we arrived
at 9:15pm.
Someone one picked us up at the air port and brought us to our
apartments at the Fountains, West Palm Beach.
So as it may seem it’s one of the coldest winters Florida
has had in ages, and all those jeans and jackets I so happily left behind are
in great demand at the moment. Never the less it’s been truly amazing to see
all of my friends from last season, and the handful of new people that have
joined the Mirasol Family.
I hope that everyone is all settled in and are having as
much fun as I am. Here’s to a great season and making loads of new friends. Work hard and play hard!
