I'm glad you checked it out! As for Frankfurt, it's pretty easy to take a train into town, and we never saw anybody checking tickets. And as with most major airports, you can check your carry-on bags for the day for just a few euro a bag, so that you don't have to lug them around all day. Bummer that we'll just miss each other in South Africa. Our plan is to leave here late March, although a lot can change between now and then.
