Cape Town Airport

Its 7:30 and I am sitting at Cape Town Airport again waiting for my flight to depart to Joburg. There used to be a time when I really enjoyed coming to the airport and going on a flight, but that was for pleasure. Since I have had to travel for work, it has become the pubic hair on my soap. I have to get out of this mindset, because I really enjoy travelling and flying, and at this rate, I am going to start hating it because I have to do it all by myself, for work, while my three guys are in bed still sleeping. Well no use in prolonging the inevitable. Lets board and get board!

Travelbug

I have always had the travel sickness that I got from the travel bug that bit me when I was in Std 8 (that's grade 10). However, I am having huge issues with travelling for work these days. I used to enjoy it allot because I love to fly and flying anywhere was a big bonus for me. Now I have two little responsibilities at home that I can not just leave on a whim, and because I live alone, I have nobody to look after them once a month, for a week at a time. It is very conflicting for me because it is part of my current job to travel to Joburg and Durban once a month, but I have nobody to watch my dogs and feed them while I am gone. Am I being unreasonable trying to limit my travel to only necessary trips? AND then there is the issue of being away from home and the muffin man for so long. The travel bug is meant to be for a once a year itch only....

Blue Train

Blue Train yesterday. Went from Cape Town to Worcester. It was great being on that luxurious train and getting treated like a rock star. Had lunch in the dining cart and sat in the observation cart looking out at the Cape country side. It was a great experience with great people.
