Trains, Planes, and Automobiles!


Flight from Entebbe to Nairobi
Hi All!
So far i’ve been traveling for 25 hours straight and have 11 more to go! We left sunday morning from Jinja at 8am Ugandan time. We had a three hour drive from Jinja to Entebbe and then an hour and a half flight from Entebbe to Nairobi. Once in Nairobi our flight was delayed for a while and we didn’t get off the runway until around 6:30pm. Once off the ground in Nairobi we were headed towards Amsterdam. I was incredibly fortunate to have a whole row of three seats all to myself. I considered it a gift for the many days spent in clinic getting coughed and peed on and for how miserable I felt while we were in Nairobi when I came down with walking pneumonia (didn’t want to mention it until this point as I didn’t want to freak out my mother!). Needless to say it was the best flight I’ve had in a while. I slept for the full eight hours and they had to wake me up when we were at the gate. I hope the next leg from Amsterdam to NYC is as nice, doubt it though ;-)
My awesome seat(s)
Can’t wait to see everyone back at home. I’ll be in NYC monday night and will be driving back to Newport tuesday morning.
Cheers!
