Wow! Joanna, that it harsh news about Delta and the reward tickets. We might have to switch to another credit card and not use AMEX Delta rewards. So glad we got ours for next year but it is such a challenge and even somewhat stressful. I will work on the hotel reservations for Joburg early next year. We just hope this trip won't disapoint and will be everything we have heard. Sounds so fabulous. Judy
