12/02/17 - On 11/14, We got up 7 00 am and met the group that was left at 8 00 am for our last breakfast since all of us were leaving the same day but at different times. Deborah, Manuel and I were leaving at 1 30 pm so I took the morning to pack and relax while Deborah walked the city. We left for the Capetown airport at 1 30 pm and got there at 2 00 pm. Manuel helped us check in and get to our gate and then he left at 4 00 pm for Victoria Falls, Africa and we left at 505 pm for Johannesburg. We left for JFK New York at 9 35 pm and had a 16 hour flight. I was a little worried about making my domestic flight since I only had two hours and 20 minutes and would need to go from the international terminal to the domestic terminal but all was well.
11/15, We arrived at JFK at 6 50 am so were only 10 minutes late. Customs is now done on the computer at a Kiosk and Deborah helped me with that so there was not a long line, next we had to go through passport control and that line was a little longer but not bad. We then went to baggage claim to pick up luggage and Deborah helped me to the door and then I was off to the area for baggage re-check and they already had my name and tag ready so things were moving right along. Now, off to domestic terminal to Jet Blue. It was quite a walk but did have a cart come by and she had a sign on her cart that she does not take any tipping and she just wanted to help people!! I had the longest line to go through security again but got to the gate and they started to pre-board but I did not sit before we were boarding everyone and we pulled away from the gate at 8 55 am. I arrived at San Diego at 12 10 pm and was picked up by Louise. We stopped off for lunch and then went home. I was very tired so did not do much but went to bed very early.
