Hello Douglas
I have added a note that explains only one round-trip ticket was bought. I used
my frequent flyer points for one of the tickets, that is why it is a bit
cheaper than normally. I thought about this for a while and agree that we
should not air such opinions on the public list, even though I do agree with
Ian's argument. For those interested, Dumisani created the following page to
continue this
discussion: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:WM_ZA/Gauteng_meeting/Report/SMS.
Kind regards
Lourie
