So, how much have you spent so far.....?

I am from Cape Town and can maybe give you some pointers on accommodation and getting around

 

Do you happen to be from Cape Town?

 

Pretty cool video, Glenn. Do you have any advice, recommendations, etc. on shark cage diving (best location, tour operator, etc.)?

I was pretty set on going shark cage diving but this talk of deep sea diving sounds intriguing...

 

how far is this from Joburg? im so down!! got any link or info?!?

 

So far this is how much I have spend for 2 persons:

Air fare with Delta RT San Diego, CA/ J-burg $2400

Air fare with SAA RT J-burg/Port Elizabeth $ 960

19 nigths of accomodation in 3 & 4 star B&B in J-burg (Fourways & Rivonia), PE(Walmer), & Polokwane. $2110

Kruger NP Safari 3 days/ 2 nigths accomodation, etc... $1400

TST 5 Mexico Cat 1 (includes opening day) $2456

Matches for 2x, 29 cat 2, 39 cat 3, 52 cat 3, 58 & 60 cat 1. $1800


Total $ 11,126

In summary $5, 560 dlls per person for 21 days of accomodation & 10

matches in total including opening game, plus 4 first round, 2 second round,&

3 potencial QF.

I still have to book RT transportation J- burg/Polokwane for Mex/France match.

And we'll be using taxis & public transportation every day for matches & visit

the different attractions.

 

vamos mexico - kudos to pay for that SAA flight of $960 for that domestic flight. i don't have the minerals to pay $900 for a domestic flight, but we are all backed into that same corner...

My costs thus far:
1. flight from JFK-CPT and CPT-JFK - $2000 on KLM airlines
2. flight from CPT-JNB and JNB-CPT - $533 on kulula
3. Hotel in Cape Town - 6 nights - $1210 ($605 x 2 people)
4. Hotel in Joburg - 5 nights - $1600 ($800 x 2 people)
5. Tickets (8 games - about 25 tickets total) - $2,320

more to be spent in 2010 for wine tours, boozing, boats & hos, food, and other sightseeing activities

 

I had to do it Furnacio, had to pay around $450 dlls each for a RT Jburg/PE hurts.

But, thats the price that you have to pay when you have a TST tix & do not want to miss match 49 in PE on June 26 & be able to make it on time for match 52 in Jburg the next day.

Matches 49 & 52, both 2nd round knock out games will involve interesting confrontations. (SA, France, Mex vs Arg or Nigeria )

In conclusion, I think it worths the $ & OT at work to save to get this money & not have to worry if I'll make on time or not or if the seats ran out for this fligth. We don't even know if the airlines are dropping prices.

 

vamos mexico - best of luck with the rest of your planning. i hope carlos vela scores 2 goals in the opening game!!

 

Thanks Furnacio for the good wish about Carlos Vela.

It seems that you're doing well so far with your plans. Good luck with your remaining plans too, & hope your favorite team reaches the final vs Mexico.

 

i'm a big arsenal supporter and think vela has a great career ahead of him.

colombia is my team, but since we didn't qualify i'll be content if any team from south america can go far in the world cup...
