Oct 17 - Butterflies!

Jambo!

Leaving in 4 days! The weekend was spent packing and doing errands - so many lists! What to take, what to leave out? I have 2 suitcases and one is for clothes and one is full of gifts (both IBM and Canadian stuff). 

I am really excited but also have this stomach full of butterflies

I imagine that if I feel this way, how must early pioneers have felt when they were sailing across the ocean to uncharted lands? 





 Flying Turkish Air to Istanbul and then on to Nairobi seems so exotic to me, but Istanbul is where Dilhun lives!  Henriette from Denmark and Dilhun will both be getting on the same flight to Nairobi with me, so we will meet each other at the gate and on the plane. 



That will be very nice for me - not to arrive in Nairobi all alone at 1:20 AM!!    Alex says we will be met at the airport, and all three of us will need to queue for our tourist visas.
Kwaheri (goodbye) until I'm there!

  1. enjoy and have fun! I recommend that you try to adjust as quickly as possible to the timezone change ... sleep 2 hours when you get in; get up at around 8:00am and spend that first day just tiring yourself out
