An Unforgettable African Adventure
Our African adventure began with a 15-and-a-half-hour flight from Atlanta to Johannesburg, South Africa, courtesy of Delta Airlines. Despite the lengthy journey, the exceptional service and attentiveness of the flight crew created a relaxing environment for the duration of the flight. Upon landing in Johannesburg, our guide greeted us at the gate, efficiently navigating us through baggage claim and immigration. Soon, we were en route to the luxurious Saxon Hotel, where a welcome drink and fabulous dinner awaited us. Although our stay was brief, the Saxon impressed us with its exquisite dining options, private villas, and an array of spa treatments.

A Rhine River Adventure with Viking Cruise Line
My journey kicked off at South Bend Airport with Delta Airlines. I had two connections—one in Atlanta and another in Paris—before landing in my final destination of Basel, Switzerland, near the border of France. Upon arrival, I opted for a taxi to my hotel but soon discovered the airport had two taxi locations. One for drivers within France and the other for Switzerland, where I was headed.
