holiday memories: the first surprise

Well, as promised some memories from our recent holidays.

I successfully woke up at 4am and managed somehow to get us on the road by just after 5am. I was very pleased with this.

Then, about 30 minutes out of Durban, I turned to Sandra and said.

"You did pack the tickets and booking confirmations and important telephone numbers?"

"No. Did you?"

"No."

"umm.. I guess we had better turn around then."

"Yes."

So, we ended up leaving Durban well after 6am.

Luckily I had padded my intinerary for unforeseen delays and we still reached Grahamstown before nightfall.

later...

.. It's in words that the magic is -- Abracadabra, Open Sesame, and the rest -- but the magic words in one story aren't magical in the next. The real magic is to understand which words work, and when, and for what; the trick is to learn the trick. ... And those words are made from the letters of our alphabet: a couple-dozen squiggles we can draw with the pen. This is the key! And the treasure, too, if we can only get our hands on it! It's as if - as if the key to the treasure is the treasure! ------- John Barth, Chimera
