I have just checked carefully my airline tickets from Johannesburg to Capetown to Nairobi to Bujumbura (Burundi) for the seminars in Africa November 8-30. I have learned by experience to be meticulous and not presume everything is OKAY. A number of years ago, Sue and I arrived in Moscow en route to a seminar in the Ural Mountains only to find that the Russian embassy in Los Angeles had entered the wrong dates. Since I worked through a reputable travel agent in getting the Russian visa and was very busy with my work with the colleges, I had not looked. The supervisor in Russia said that the error could be corrected if I would pay him $500. Of course, I refused and held my ground until he relented. While I was taken to his office in another building leaving Sue alone with the luggage for several hours, it was a distressful time. I'm trying to touch every base these days as I travel to avoid surprises. Trust God and verify is the word for the day.
