(Originally posted 3 February 2016) As we get ready to fly out to Vietnam from South Africa at the end of the week, I can’t help but remember this humorous song, Aeroplane Jane, by South African musician, Karen Zoid. It is all about the frustrations of flying and how you miss those who are not travelling with you.
In this final week before we leave for our round-the-world trip, we are now officially homeless, unemployed and have moved back in with mom. Many of our amazing South African friends have been carving out precious time to spend with us. Those we have not been able to see have been sending encouraging messages and wishing us well.
Although the song by Karen Zoid makes you laugh, it also captures how we will feel about leaving all these wonderful people behind: “You’re a million miles away, and I miss you so today!”
