Lediba Homestead

We are staying the first week at the Lediba Homestead. This is located on a property which is recently acquire by TEN.
I slept like a wild woman last night. Bob didn't have as much success sleeping.
I cobbled together an outfit (I am thankful for the socks that British Airlines supplied). My Dyson is not working so I am glad that I also had a curling iron in my carry-on. I wish that I would have know that I was going to be forced to exist with only what was in my carry-on...I would have packed differently. But all in all, I do have a surprising amount of stuff. I am learning that I can pack lighter.
We had a light breakfast.
During the night, Delta Airlines left a voicemail for Bob saying that they have my luggage in Seattle. It was delivered to them because it did not have a tag on it. They gave me a reference number. I spent some time contacting everyone I could to try and get my luggage.
We put together our day packs as we will be touring another piece of property that a gentleman wants to partner with TEN to manage.
We got into our vehicle and headed out.
We toured the adjacent property's lodge, villas and main house. The lodge and villa had a lot of deferred maintenance. It would be a daunting job to get them back in a condition that they could be rented.
The main house was an impressive, sprauling 3 bedroom house.
We then headed over to Hippo Lake"s lodge for lunch. We then toured the new lodge which was under construction. It was a beautiful building with grand vistas. The next stop was the new laundry facilities. It is intriguing to see the tremendous amount of support facilities that are requiresd to make a resort function. We toured the staff housing which was also being remodeled.
We will tour the various guest accomodarions next week because everyrhing is currently occupied.
We then opted to head back to the homestead. On the way back we stopped and viewed many animals.
Once back at the homestead, we grabbed a quick snack. Bob and Dale sat outside while I tried for over 45 minutes to reach the lost luggage personnel. I was finally able to speak with someone who indicates that Delta would transport my luggage to J'Burg. It would arrive tommorow night and be delivered to me the next day. I am not optimistic that my bag will be here by Wednesday.
The internet is not working at the Homestead so I cannot track my luggage while inside but outside I can get cellular service.
We received a call from Delta at about 1 AM. Bob was unable to answer the call. I went outside to see where my bag was. It now appears to be on a runway at SeaTac. I am excited that it is at least on the move.Read more
