a van would be a good idea, maybe two, in case one gets stolen during
the show. But the shuttle idea sounds even better, so if we can get
that, Karen ? Anyway, I'm interested, whatever we do.

I'm definitely considering and pretty much decided on the Hyatt. Are
you decided ? What are other peoples plans ?
So far, there seem to be 3 things to visit in JoBurg:
- Rosebank Mall Rooftop market
- Krugersdrop (1/2 day) or Pilanesburg (whole day) park
- Soweto tour
I want to do the 3, but I think I will only have time for 2, unless we
can do one on Friday afternoon if we get into JoBurg on Friday
morning...
Friday: Krugersdrop
Sunday: Rosebank Mall Rooftop market
Monday: Soweto tour
What do others think ?

We were planning to get a car but now it seems like we won't need one
in JoBurg if we get something arranged to go to and back from the show
and do tours the rest of the time...
