We flew Delta Airlines from Phoenix to Atlanta. Then, nonstop from Atlanta, Georgia, to Cape Town, South Africa, at 5:50 pm. on Thursday, August 31st. It took 14 hours and 45 minutes. After three movies, reading a book, and several meals, we arrived. We were surprised the long flight really wasn't that bad. We took a taxi and arrived at the Marriott Crystal Towers in Cape Town around 7:00 pm. on September 1st. It was a lovely hotel. We were happy we were staying put for four nights. Hussar Grill at the hotel was open, and we had a wonderful time chatting with the bartender over dinner.Read more
