Saturday February 12

Arrived home safely and on time! In Luanda, had an interesting experience with the "Fiscal" Police. Angola does not allow kwanzas to leave the country so the last stop in the airport is with a currency officer. In my past three trips, there was not issue. This time I was told "OPEN your wallet!" I had a few kwanzas left (for my next trip)which she took. She gave me a receipt but it was not correct - 1,000 kwanzas short. I demanded that she recount it and the receipt was corrected!

Lots of security in Luanda (including a screening machine on the tarmack) and South Africa (4 separate screenings). The flight from Joburg to Atlanta was only 50% full so all of us in coach were able to stretch out on three seats!

Home until Monday the 14th and off again to Africa - Tanzania.

Happy Valentine's Day to all.
