In just a few hours Carolyn and I will leave to attend the IFLA Annual Conference in Durban, South Africa. From JFK, we have an overnight flight to Zurch, landing in the morning. We get to spend all day in Zurich (there’s an easy train to catch downtown), then we have another overnight flight to Johannesburg. At the conference, I’m delivering a paper on Open Access. After the conference, we’re going to a private game reserve called Thanda for three days. Then a quick visit to Victoria Falls at a lodge called The River Club. Interesting pictures reveal that the lodges have only three walls, and is open to river views. Should be interesting. I hope to have some pictures to share when I return. Except for the days in Durban, I will be off the grid for the next two weeks, arriving back in New York on September 29.
