24 Jul 2010I just can’t understand why I had never been before

Quote

Just a note to thank you very much for helping to organise my trip to South Africa for the World Cup.

Everything went very smoothly and I don’t know whether I enjoyed the football quite as much as I enjoyed visiting such a wonderful country. For someone who has enjoyed travelling as much as I have always done, I just can’t understand why I had never been before.
