Hi Douglas

Sorry for my prolonged silence–have been busy with many things.

As far as I know, based on the cruise line itinerary, my ship,  
Tahitian Princess, will arrive in Cape Town at 7 am on Saturday, 17  
October 2009, and it will stay in port overnight; passengers don't  
have to depart until 18 October. I'll probably be busy packing on the  
17th but might take a short walk around the port area; I understand  
there's a huge mall there  :-)    I have booked an all day excursion  
from the ship on the 18th which should take me to all the far flung  
places on my list: Table Mountain, Cape Point, and Simon's Town among  
them. The cruise line information is a little vague on this; one  
place says it's offered on the 18th but it appears on the 'official'  
excursion list for only the 17th. So I probably won't know until I  
get on the ship and ask.

In any case, I disembark on the 18th, and spend three more full days  
in Cape Town, departing for London at 6:45 pm on 21 October. I'm  
staying at the Cape Diamond Hotel, Longmarket and Parliament Sts. (if  
you can comment on the hotel, I would appreciate it).

When and where we meet up is pretty much up to you based on your work  
schedule. If Sunday, 18 October is better for you, I can change my  
excursion to the 17th; otherwise, it's your call. Don't feel you have  
to move mountains–even lunch and a beer (or glass of wine) would be  
fine.

I will be leaving home on 11 September, and after that I will have  
little to no internet availability (I don't travel with one). I could  
call you on 17 October when I get ashore; give me a particular time  
if you like. I have an international cell phone but the number is in  
England so if you call me, you're charged for a call to England but  
it will reach me wherever I am. The number is   44-789-403-0114

One question: if my evil shopping twin overdoes it, can I pretty  
easily buy an inexpensive suitcase to pack with goodies; or are there  
offices of FedEx or UPS and places that will pack up stuff to ship??

Another question: is there any little thing I can bring for you  
besides a list button??

Looking forward to meeting you in Cape Town...

Karen
