Africa Day 1 & 2

And we are off on our adventure.  We got up at 3:15am on June 3rd.  We flew 2 1/2 hours from Spokane to LA, 4 1/2 hours from LA to Atlanta then 15 hours from Atlanta to Johannesburg South Africa.  The kids were awesome.  None of us slept much, but everyone was well behaved.  It was a 25 hour trip from the time we left Spokane to the time we landed in South Africa.  It was 5pm on June 4th local time by we landed.   We quickly got our luggage and picked up our SA sim card so we could have cell service and got our yellow fever shots.  The yellow fever shots we only $60 a piece here as opposed to $170 a per person in the US.  We got to our hotel and crashed.  I made everyone take Benadryl and we all slept from 9pm to 10am the next day.
