Dear Judy,
Sorry that I didn't email you earlier to tell you about trip, but I've had bunch of things to do since we got back. We had fantastic time in South Africa. Although this is first time I've ever traveled to foreign country, I feel confident saying that it's one of most beautiful places on planet.
We began trip in Cape Town as you suggested. It's such beautiful city. And I'm so glad you recommended that we take cable car up Table Mountain. While we were taking in spectacular views, we met man who runs lodge just outside Kalahari National Park. He invited us to stay in lodge for free, so we rented car and slowly drove up West Coast to park and spent our time exploring Kalahari Desert. What adventure!
Take care,
Diane

A(AN) can be used like the word "per".
Examples:
- Apples currently cost $1.30 a pound.
- Cheetahs can run 60 miles an hour.
- You want $150 a person for the tour?
If a direction (north, west, southeast, left, right) directly follows a verb, do not use an article with the direction.
Examples:
- We need to walk south.
- They drove north all day.
- At the stop sign, turn left and walk three blocks.
HOWEVER: If a direction follows a preposition, you must use THE.
Examples:
- We need to walk to the south.
- Our house is in the north.
- The grocery store is on the right.
MOREOVER: Use THE with compass directions when referring to them as special geographic or cultural regions.
Examples:
- We love the South.
- Have you ever visited the East?
- The West has better national parks.

I have chosen this quotation for a simple reason, this is the less philosophic. I have never validated any philosophic exams. With all due respect to Albert Einstein, I don't have lots of imagination so I prefer to talk about something I have already felt : boredom and terror in a plane.
I tend to add an other emotion : pain. Because I'm too tall for economic seat, and my wallet is too small for business seat.
Boredom and terror are totally natural in plane. And maybe we are more terrified because we don't have other thing to do than thinking about how we are going to crash.
Flying in plane is something we don't control and we don't know anything about how it really works. So it's a source of anxiety. We don't care about statistics and the fact that car is more dangerous than plane when whe are shaked by turbulences. At this time we just regret not have travelled in conoe to head New York City. That drives us crazy and we don't have the choice to renounce because we are locked in this shaked place, piled up, eating lukewarm meal and watching Titanic. Welcome to the Devil Company!
But I found a solution. No, it's not trust the pilot because I have never met him/her before the flight. It's a recipe based on two ingredients : sleeping pill and anxiolytic. Pretty easy to prepare and diabolically effective. Forget boredom and terror and let's dream to infinity and beyond
