| Always nice to fly during the holiday season. This was a few years ago in the terminal building of Cape Town airport |
Keep in mind that the early call for papers is open for the International Council for Open and Distance Education (ICDE). If you submit your proposal before the end of December, you will get feedback by the end of January and you will have enough time to do research and planning for the trip in October 2017 to this conference that is hosted every second year.
For those of you who are planning to attend the Postgrad supervision conference in Stellenbosch end of March 2017, the organisers added interesting tours before and after the conference dates that can add value to this experience. If you are not a member of the young (2016) Postgraduate Forum for Southern Africa yet, please join this very important and enriching forum either now or while attending the conference at Spier.
And now for a few for money saving tips when travelling: Compare the price of the airport shuttle or Gautrain with hiring a car (when using loyalty miles you get really good car rental deals). For us (we are however, normally two or three persons travelling together) it is usually much cheaper to rent a car and drop it off at the airport than taking the shuttle. The car hire drop off and pick up points are conveniently near to the terminals at OR Tambo airport.
If you do not yet use WhatsApp on your phone, download it immediately as this will not only save you lots on money while travelling internationally, it will also lower your mobile phone bill immediately. Using this application, you can chat (like sms), send photos or videos and even call for free. Yes, also from outside the country, as long as you have a Wi-Fi connection. This is super: We were sitting next to the pool in Tobago recently and could first send a video of our surroundings before calling the kids without having to keep it short because it did not cost us anything.
