Herewith, my Hits & Misses from the recent vacation in Africa (in no particular order) … Hit: South African Airways — excellent planes; on-time flights; lovely staff; no baggage issues.

After spending the first four of our “Arabian” nights in Dubai (see previous post), it was time to make the approximately 75-minute drive to neighboring Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates.
