Ladies and gentlemen, its country number 5....

Indeed. My 5th country in 3 months. Less than 3 months in fact. I left Sudan on the 1st of September. I went straight to Nairobi, where I had a lovely evening with my mother, and flew to the UK in the morning. From there I went to the USA, and then back to the UK. And now... South Africa.

Yes, this traveling mass of insane humanity is moving on to yet another adventure. This one is the adventure of going home. And in true Miss P. style, the decision was made in about 2 hours.

The conversation went like this (in two msn windows)

Miss Tig: Hey I have a job for you if you want it. Great money!
Me: Yes, but you are in Cape Town, and I am in London.
Miss Tig: Well, when you planning on coming home? Cause this guy really needs someone to help him.
Me: I really dont know.

Me: Hey Miss M. Miss Tig says she has this great job for me, but its in Cape Town. Doesnt that suck?
Miss M: Well, you could always get the ticket home on my credit card, and we can sort the cash out later.
Me: Ummm...

And that was it. So I am going back to Cape Town. I am packing up my stuff into an ever decreasing package and shipping myself back to the country I honestly didnt think I would live in again.

I fly on Wednesday. Well.... here I go. Wish me luck.

po & lopz: Its great to be going home, but I didn't realise until now how much I am going to miss England. Its wierd.

Amy: Thank hun, but my Dad has it covered. Besides, I arrive at 6.45 am, so you can imagine what the drive BACK from the airport is going to be like! See you soon!

Mike: I plan to go find them actually... although, the plan also includes a wetsuit and a lovely safe reinforced metal cage.
