Every Christmas DH and I drive to Johannesburg. We take it slowly and stop overnight. With the price of petrol, our overnight stop there and back and meals, I decided to see how much the flights would be. There was very little difference between flying and driving so for the first time we have decided to fly. A two hour flight compared with a two day drive. We are booked to go. I feel very relieved :) Sarah.

Sometimes it is good to check your normal routines and compaire them again. You never know, you see. I bet it is much more comfortable by plain then by car. Also no stress in driving. And now you have even more time to spent with them !

Hi Marthie - great to 'see' you. I am pleased we are flying especially after that horrific lorry accident in Natal with 23 dead.
