We should be packing by now, shouldn’t we? We are still taking appointments to hear about the kinds of diamonds we can bring our friends out of Africa.
We leave on April 16th and fly from New York to Amsterdam to Johannesburg. Arriving late in the evening of the 17th.
Bright and early the next morning (awake or not), the trip takes off like a rocket. Doing work at a Habitat project, going on safari, down to the mines, working with master stone cutters doing rough initial cuts on your hand-selected diamonds. It’s all on the calendar, and we can’t wait to get started.
Stay tuned right here. We will post as many live reports as time and technology will allow. This is a new part of the experience, and we’re looking forward to it all.
Ok, back to the mines for the Browns,
