Enroute once again

It has been two years since we returned to Canada from our previous sojourn in southern Africa. This journey will provide opportunity to reconnect with friends and colleagues from as far back as the 80's as well as to explore our sense of where we belong. We have spent 14 years in the region living and working in multiple countries.

Southern Africa has become 'home' for us in many ways and has a familiarity that is comfortable. One of the challenges faced in this kind of multi-cultural life framework is that the concept of 'home' and 'identity' takes on different meanings depending on the place one is in and from which one looks outward to the rest of the world.  Both of us, Lois and Bruno, will revisit and explore this concept from various vantage points.  From the Calgary Intn'l Airport the journey begins...



The travel is long - 20 hours flying time plus airport layovers. Yet in such a short span we cover some 18,000 kilometers flying a speeds of 900 km/hour and at heights of 11,000+ metres. Hopefully things will slow down once we land at Oliver Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg.
