Boarding

We're finally boarding or 15h 40min flight. We will arrive Friday evening, as the U.S. plays Slovenia. I expect there will be TVs in the airport; when we arrived here the France v. Mexico game was on in all the bars.

It will be odd - perhaps a test - to be without BlackBerry service for more than 3 weeks. No more real-time blogging or Facebook updates. Wish me luck!

Next update from Johannesburg!
