I'm almost there!

I arrived in Nairobi last night and am headed to Kisumu later this evening, but I have a few hours to kill here at the hotel, so I thought I would put in a quick entry. Travel was pretty smooth - I would say the last leg of the trip felt a LOT longer than the first. My flight from Amsterdam to Nairobi was delayed by two hours and we had to go through security twice (they have security at each gate and after we had all gone through the first gate, they said our plane was having problems and we were going to take off from the gate next door, which meant everyone had to go back out of security and then going through it again at the next gate). That was a little bit of a mob scene - no one really had any sense of standing in line and people just kept "joining" halfway down whatever line there actually was. But we all made it on the plane! Then, on the plane, my personal t.v. didn't work (just my luck!) and the guy next to me seriously had no sense of personal space - his elbow protruded into my seat most of the ride. I decided to sleep (probably not the smartest since it was technically daytime here, but who really cares?).

Now I'm just hanging out, waiting to meet up with Lavenda (she is Simon's sister - I know her from the last trip) - we'll hang out a little bit and then it's off to Kisumu for the weekend! Sunday, I go to Mbita.
