My first opportunity to travel beyond the borders of South Africa came in 1968 when I was selected to be an AFS student. What an exciting moment it was when I received the letter of confirmation of selection. The date is permanently etched in my brain – 11 December 1967.
As I mentioned in my first blog on travelling in South Africa, my home country, we have now travelled to and spent varying times in each of our current 9 provinces.
At last, it is Wednesday, 3 May 2006 and Trevor and I are leaving for our first Senior Citizen’s trip abroad.
