First Time Trip to Durban

On 13th September 2007, Judith (my wife) and Shingisai (our baby daughter) find ourselves undertaking a trip to Durban in South Africa. The purpose of the trip is to attend Gabriel's (my) graduation. The trip starts from Lusaka International airport using a Zambian Airways flight. Departure is set for 07 30. however, the flight only leaves 70 minutes later at 08 40! The flight is smooth. We arrive at O R Tambo International airport (formerly Johannesburg International airport) two hours later. After completing the airport formalities we head for the domestic terminal in order to check in for our Durbanflight from Johannesburg. Due to the delay of the Lusaka flight, we miss our connecting flight at 11 30. We are however, put on a standby flight leaving at 14 30. this leaves us with 3 hours in which to do some window shopping, eat lunch and check in. at 14 30 sharp we are ready to take off using Khulula airlines.
