You win Standard Bank. 
I'll be hopping a train tomorrow morning at 7am and heading for NYC, arriving Thursday round 4pm in Long Island and staying at me cousin Jana's place.  I missed those crazy guys.

Hope to fly back to SA at the end of this month, depending on what I can get and how much it will cost.  In truth I now have about $200 to last me till I go.  That's not a lot of moola, especially not in NYC.  Yup, this is the grand ending.

I will be out of touch till I chug into Long Island.

Go well okes, see you on the flipside,

Alice
