Please not the airport... the roads are @#$%^&*$%^&* in that area.... and I am travving from the west rand.
Ron and Tribble have notorious reputations at Spur restaurants. Countrywide.
I suppose we can swing the airport, but there are no yellow dots on the road for when I do my l33t Google Earth map.

There are lovely places we can eat - even a Spur That way we get more of a meet and Koko has some company. Doo Much agrees with me btw (ok ok - it was his suggestion so technically I agree with him) Tell him he can stop bashing me on the head - it hurts
The flight I'm leaning towards (BA 6224) gets in to JNB at 11:15. The flight that Koko is meeting gets in at 10:30 - given time taken to go through immigration, pick up bags and clear customs, Koko's lady would get through everything at around the same time that I get in. I'll be very quick out - hand luggage only, and I'll do the online check-in thing with BA and get a seat at the front of the plane.
1T 210 arrives at 09:55, but BA seems to be running one of their specials at the moment and is offering the cheapest return package.

To be quite honest, where we meet up doesn't really bother me too much.
Once we decide on a venue, I'm going to get in touch with an old friend of mine who I haven't seen in around six years or so - try to persuade him to come along.
I miss Ama. 
How will you be travelling around during your prolonged stay in the city of hijackers and pollution?
