And so the journey starts...

If you ever plan to motor west,
Travel my way, take the highway that is best.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.

It winds from Chicago to LA,
More than two thousand miles all the way.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.

Now you go through Saint Looey
Joplin, Missouri,
And Oklahoma City is mighty pretty.
You see Amarillo,
Gallup, new Mexico,
Flagstaff, Arizona.
Don't forget Winona, K
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernandino.

Won't you get hip to this timely tip:
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.

Won't you get hip to this timely tip:
When you make that california trip
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.

Get your kicks on route sixty-six.


We are 7 friends embarking on this amasing journey...
Hans Swart, together with his wife, Elisme Swart (that's me) will lead the team.  The other members of our team are:

Daniel en Alida Roux

Stephanus Malherbe

Elly Smith

Carla Korving 

We all met at OR Tambo at 16h00 on  Thursday, 22 August.  Daniel, Alida and Stephanus flew in from Cape Town.  After a very nice Cuppacino, Hans did the briefing and gave everyone their responsibilities.  We then made our way to the check-in desks...

First stop London...
