Rotary District 3820 (Philippines) went on a Group Study Exchange with Rotary District 9300 (South Africa) from May 15 to June 16, 2010.

This blog is an attempt to describe, capture and tell the story of these five lucky souls who were given a once in a lifetime experience to eat good food, drink good wine, visit good places, and meet good people in a beautiful land not many dared to visit.

Bound for South Africa

May 14, 2010

This is it, the departure. The team met around 11 AM at Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1.


Armed with very heavy bags and heavy heart filled with anticipation of what lies ahead as well as a little sadness for the people we will miss for a month back home, we pushed our way inside the airport.

Departure time was 2 PM.

 

After 4 hours of travel from Manila, we arrived in Singapore for a short stopover.


Then we were off for the long haul. Ten hours of flying time. Good thing the food and entertainment of Singapore Airlines were just so awesome. 

 

And then we were in South Africa.
