Totsiens! A word before I leave...

Totsiens means "See you later" or "Goodbye" in Afrikaans... ;)

As you know I'm off to Cape Town, South Africa for the next two weeks! I am beyond excited to go back to this beautiful city! The flight is long (about 21 hours) but the experience is so worth it, trust me.

I will make sure to channel an appropriate, transcontinental Airport Style - as I learned my lesson when I looked like garbage and saw LL Cool J and Kevin Liles in the D.C airport. I made that vow to never again walk into the airport with a headscarf and cap on- I can at least comb my hair out!


When I think about this trip, I can't help but to think about shopping. This shopping addiction of mine was present even in college, which was the last time I went to Cape Town. I made sure to learn how to say some of the major shopping phrases in Afrikaans (English is spoken in South Africa- but when I was there before I received the craziest discounts when I spoke Afrikaans at the shops !)

I want to buy .. Ek wil ... koop
I’m just looking Ek kyk net ‘n bietjie
How much is it? Hoeveel kos dit?

and my absolute favorite....

Do you accept credit cards? Aanvaar julle kredietkaarte?

The 90 day challenge is going to be really hard as the art markets in Cape Town are drool-worthy and I know that I will want to buy, buy buy! Nevertheless I will only buy souvenirs for friends & family - I've given myself a budget so that I don't go overboard as a means to quell my inner shopper. I'm serious - I'm going to make it to 90 days!


I will do my best to post while abroad! Bon Voyage!
