This was the start of a Cal/AHI tour to South Africa, begining in Cape Town and ending in Johannesburg.  We left on 8-Jan-2014 and returned on 22-Jan.  The flight to Cape Town went through Dulles (Washington DC) and Munich Germany, where we had a room for the 10-hour lay-over, and then an 11 hour flight to Cape Town.
