Chicken for dinner :)

Yup...believe it or not, we are having chicken for dinner. We're spending the night with some old friends , in Johannesburg, and spending the day tomorrow with some other old friends, before finally making our way to Johannesburg International Airport (the name has changed but anyway...we'll stick with it for this blog). We're really going to enjoy this chicken, knowing that the chance of having a roast in the next 6 months for a South African family travelling to Europe/UK is almost zero...although perhaps I will drop huge hints to Sam, our friend in the UK....hmmm....

I must admit, one thing I am very happy with, is that both our friends today and tomorrow, both have ADSL broadband internet connections, and so far so good.... I run an Internet business, and this 6 month holiday is not just about taking 6months out to relax. I will be working from the campervan, using some form of Internet. So far it's a tussle between T-Mobile 3G data card while in the UK, perhaps something similar in Europe, or else a satellite dish option from www.bentleywalker.com . My wife and I control different parts of our business, and although we have fantastic staff members back in South Africa and Australia (a virtual team) , we still need to "be there" to clear the more difficult issues which arise. To date I've spent months on the net reading www.motorhomefacts.com posts and other sites, and havent found a solid Internet solution at a decent price yet. Vodacom in South Africa wanted to charge R15 per Meg...on a 3G card...I downloaded a bandwidth tracker and found I was using about 50Megs a day....times that by 30 and again by 15, and you get a monthly Internet bill of R22500 per month....ARE THEY COMPLETELY MAD? It really is rediculous in this day and age, that we cant see roaming agreements where 3G suppliers dont expect you to sell your house to be able to get email?????????

Any way...if you follow this post, perhaps you will learn what experiences we pick up . hmmmm...I can smell the chicken. Gotta go.
Bye.
