Grettings from Africa!!!

Hello everyone...
so far this has been a great trip except that will has not received his luggage yet :( apparently we will have it in Maputo on the 3rd of July. We have spent a lot of time in the Jo'burg airport trying to get it and for some reason his did not show up with mine which came a day late. yesterday they said it was still in NC!! we are getting by, and british air gave us some money and starting tomorrow he can buy anything that was in the bag and will be reimbursed.
As for the trip so far... it has been awesome! I love south africa! we went to a lion park in johannesburg on the first day here and got to pet lion cubs (both John and Will received minor bites) and then we drove through the park. It was amazing! there were four separate areas where the lions were and one decided to lay down right in front of our car! we saw some eating, and a male lion roar! it was unbelievable. we also saw some beautiful zebras, springboks, giraffes, antelopes, and cheetahs. it was awesome.
the hotels we have been staying at have been increadibly beautiful and rediculously cheap. actually everything is, its awesome. the meals have been delightful as well as the people here. everyone is very friendly. we ate at an amazing african restaurant called Chief's Boma at our hotel in Jo'burg and had an african buffet with accompanying entertainment. We ate impala and Hake (the best fish i have ever tasted). I danced with the band and got to play one of thier instruments (a wooden xylophone). We are all having the best time!
Yesterday we headed up to Nelspriut and we are going to Kruger National Park today and tomorrow to see the big five. and then off to Mozambique!
I am running out of time, and will hopefully have a chance to tell more stories. We are all well, and having a wonderful time. I love Africa!!
