All landed in the lovely US of A.
Was quite a mission of a trip. 17 hours to ATL, 2 hour layover and 2 hours to MCO. The plane was full full of americans and maybe a handful of South Africans.

I flew Delta and did you know you are now only allowed ONE free bag?! that is actually insane, it used to be two and that is what the average traveller would use. I had to pay $270.00 for my bags!! The only thing that keeps me flying Delta is their Skymiles. Other than that I am a hardcore SAA flyer. The food and custumer service/flight attendants are much much better. That is the airline I would reccomend others.

Meanwhile I had to collect 4 rolling suitcases and my carry ons in Atlanta and re-check them into baggage. Of all the people on the flight only 3 men offered and did help me with my bags. All three of them were different South African men. I made a comment to the last one "Of course, you're south african".. he asked what I had meant by that. And I said, "Because I know none of these Amercians are going to help me.." It's terrible to say but the absolute truth. And I don't mean ALL americans, but the majority really don't care about other people here. It's a fend for yourself kind of world here, that is the main reason I like South Africa so much better. People are friendly and feel they are all connected together even if they aren't genetically connected. I want to live in America for a bit to dance and perform, but want to make sure I get out of it before it makes me too cold...
