Ah, the joys of travelling. Well I knew things didnt look good when before I even left a 100 mile radius of my home only to find myself delayed out of Toronto! Despite the fact it was middle of April and a gorgeous spring day apparently "maintenance" issues can occur. The hour and half delay wouldnt have been so terrible if it didnt affect my transfer flight from Zurich to Nairobi however, you guessed it, it did. Once in the air everything was fine ( seat mate was tolerable :-)) but I arrived in Zurich to find out I had missed my 9:30am connecting flight and was now rebooked on a Flight that transferred out of London Heathrow Airport. Oh joy oh bliss...not only do I get a 4 hour stop in Zurich airport (yes Zurich is lovely) I also get to backtrack west to head east - makes perfect sense....the best part is that I also get a 3 hour stop over in London to change planes and catch a flight to Nairobi to have a 2 hour lay over there to change planes again to finally get to Dar Es Salaam a good 13 hours later than originally planned.
Just goes to show you....the best laid plans!
Wish my luggage luck that it finds me in Dar.
Yay! Finally safe & sound! If only we could be teleported to the final destination - wouldn't that be lovely! Hang on - you're in for one helluva ride. Glad you were able to write. Your time is about to be totally consumed and you will be tired as all get-out...the time change will get ya in about 2 days but you're a trooper :) I am sure everything back home is good - house still in one piece. Family will keep you from the horror stories until you get back. Keep writing if you can...safe travels Miss Denise!!
