Tuesday, September 30, 2008ALL MY BAGS ARE PACKED....................... All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go..................cue Peter, Paul & Mary..............singalong now folks.......................computers are tone deaf, so warble away! Some months ago, Mike & I decided we'd like to do some riding (on a Harley of course - duh!) at home in Souf Efrica. We knocked out a route, then told some friends about it. Chirps of "can we come too!" abounded & next thing we know, we've organised a tour for 9 people - wooohooo! Tomorrow morning, us 2 Saffies, 2 Canadians, an Emirati, 2 Americans, 1 Pole & 1 Englishman are setting out from Abu Dhabi on what will hopefully be one mega experience! We're taking in Joburg, Tzaneen, Pilgrims Rest, Nelspruit, the Kruger National Park (had to hire cars for that, bummer!) & Hartebeespoort. This part of the trip will be on the bikes & will be over 10 days. Sadly, some of the group have to get back to the Sandpit after this, but for 4 of us, we carry on down to Durban, then Coffee Bay & finally Gonubie, my home town in the Eastern Cape. 3 of the remaining 4 then also have to head back to the Sandpit, while I go down to Port Alfred to stay with Dubs & Pup for a week. (Pup, I hope you've got everything ready for that bread puddin'!) Along the way, we'll be having a surprise birthday for someone, who's wish to see South Africa is on her list of 'Things To Do Before I Die'. Also on the list is a wedding, provided the Imam is who he says he is & the necessary paperwork can be notorised. If it happens, I will ask the couple concerned if I may write about it. If it doesn't happen, then y'all ain't missing much! Apologies for not linking all the names/places on our trip - I just haven't got time :-( I would like to thank everyone who commented on the previous post about the damage to Eish! - we still don't have any clues as to who may have done such a mindless thing. Mike is still going to enter Eish! in the upcoming Middle East HOG Rally 'Best Bike' competition, scratch & all. He's worked long & hard on his bike, customising it & isn't gonna let a scratch stand in his way. So y'all, be good while I'm away y'hear! My apologies for not commenting on as many blogs as I would've liked to just recently - trying to get everything organised has left me with very little spare time on my hands. Eid Mubarak to my Muslim friends & readers. And for UAE folks, I'm told that the Friday magazine on the 10th of October, will have an article about some dumb blonde with a Harley in Abu Dhabi..................................
