My 4th completed book was left on a table at the CapeTown Airport, domestic terminal. I left it right before I boarded my plane from CapeTown to Johannesburg (heading home to Detroit). The entire airport is being renovated to prepare for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, so the terminal is actually a temporary facility. Joel called it "tent city". It looked like the setting for a celebrity outdoor wedding...except for the planes and passengers :)
The book was "The Girl Most Likely To" by Susan Donovan http://www.susandonovan.com/bkDetail.aspx?id=71
Who will find it? Will they be a local South African or a tourist traveling through?

Book given to fellow passenger - Sept 4
While flying on South Africa Airways from PE (Port Elizabeth) to CapeTown, South Africa - a short 1 hour flight, I sat next to a pharmaceutical sales rep who travels from her home in CapeTown back to Johannesburg or Port Elizabeth or Durban throughout the month for work. She was interested in my 3rd completed book: Between Sisters by Kristen Hannah http://www.amazon.com/Between-Sisters-Novel-Kristin-Hannah/dp/0345519469/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1252434323&sr=8-1
She said she will read it and leave it during her travels for someone else to enjoy.

Danielle Steele book left at Pumba! Sept 3
During my visit to South Africa, I visited a private game reserve. This is a common way to experience a traditional African safari, but in a most luxury-style setting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_reserve
I stayed at Pumba Game Reserve www.pumbagamereserve.co.za/. It was about 75 minute drive from Candice/Joel's house in Port Elizabeth (PE). While there, I went on the game drives with 2 couples - both from the UK - a newleywed couple and a couple celebrating their wedding anniversary. Danaiva (I should have asked how to spell her name) was the new bride. After sharing my Book with Travel idea, she said she'd love to take the book.
I know that they had a few more trips during their honeymoon before returning home. But, I look forward to hearing from her when she has a chance. She mentioned she may leave the book in Scotland - which made me so excited since my Dad's side of the family is Scottish.
