How does a person thank someone for a gift that can never be repaid?. How does one reconcile what was once a dream to that which becomes reality due to chance / fate / good fortune / etc?.
However one looks at it, there's got to be a God out there who loves, yet laughs at our feeble attempts to control and manage our lives successfully without him. Last year we were blessed to befriend a lovely lady and her family while they were visiting our hometown (Vaal Marina). At the time of meeting these lovely folk we had already shelved our travel plans due to a 40% drop in currency value against the dollar and were actively planning alternative local travel arrangements.
After getting to know these lovely folk and sharing experiences etc it became apparent that the son has connections within the Travel Industry and that he EVER SO KINDLY offered us a trip overseas at a fraction of the normal cost of Overseas travel. No, NO, No, .... it had nothing to do with drugs etc. No mule experience, etc, etc,..... just plain old decent above board offer to travel!!!! What one would associate with winning the lottery is what it was!! . Something so unexpected that it bowls you over, again and again and again !!!!!
Along with the above blessing,, Couch Surfing, wonderful people of America, tight, tight budget etc, etc we managed to travel portion of the USA for over three months. Having enjoyed it soooooo much we were continuously thinking of ideas that would allow for a return trip in the future.
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT !!!!!! , yep that's correct,....... Father Xmas has returned to Town !!!. This fine gentlemen has once again offered us the gift of visiting USA without us blowing the budget.
Unfortunately no names or addresses will be mentioned to protect the innocent but suffice to say, .......... WOW!!!! WOW !!!! WOW!!!!! .. thanks Father XMAS thanks !!!!
That's all for now , .... just thought we have to share the good news !!!!!
Enjoy the pic of happiness and satisfaction !!
