Dear Joe - It is hard to believe that we have been back from Cape Town for nearly two months now. Joe, thank you for arranging the best holiday we have ever had! That is saying quite a lot since during the past two years we have travelled to such exotic places as Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Sicily, Spain and Southern France. I personally was a bit apprehensive about a couple of items on your itinerary (as I am sure you know), namely the hot air balloon ride and (especially) the tour of the Township. It is interesting to me that the Township tour stands out in my mind (both our minds, actually) as the most memorable event of the trip, from an emotional standpoint. It made such an impression that we plan to return to South Africa again next year so that we can (hopefully) be involved in the building of a new home in Khayelitsha. It occurs to me that I have barely scratched the surface with regard to mentioning all the wonderful sights and sounds we experienced while travelling with you. I do not think we will ever again encounter a guide so meticulous, considerate and just plain fun to be with – and a gifted entertainer to boot! We still talk about the holiday as though it happened yesterday. We came back with the feeling that we had travelled with a long-lost family member who was bursting with pride for his country and who wanted to share that pride with us. Joe, we wish you all the very best in your future career and may you continue to shave the strokes off of your golf game! Please don’t forget to give our fond regards to Amanda, who no doubt is close to breaking 100 already.
