I'm back! Well, I have been back for six days.
I went to visit my daughter in Johannesburg and left home on 21st March. I was flying from Manchester to Johannesburg via Abu Dhabi. I've flown that route before and stocked up on lipsalve, eye drops, biotene products, hand cream etc for the flight. I also got the flight attendants to bring me a large bottle of water which kept me topped up all flight.
I also booked special assistance. I have an awful problem standing and can't walk far. This was a godsend. I had to explain that my large bottle of mouthwash was medicinal. Luckily,I had taken along a copy of my prescription.
Once in Africa, I sunbathed in the early morning without sun cream. (8am for an hour) as my Vit D levels were low. I'm sure they are now topped up and will last me for a good whlie.
It was wonderful to get the warm sun on my body. We had a lovely time (my daughter who I was visiting and I) visiting the safari parks and playing with lion cubs and tiger cubs.
It was also great to have a great rest from work and housework. I felt quite refreshed. Well I did until I got back to work.
I can heartily recommend a warmer climate. Pity I can't go there every few months.
The flight back was great. i got to do half of it in business class! Unfortunately, it was not the overnight leg.
Glad you had a good time and took care of yourself while you were over there :)
