And we're off!

We departed the hotel at 11 with hundreds of pounds of luggage. Everyone pretty stressed about how much stuff they had. Robert, one of the other volunteers and I pooled together and bought a suitcase and checked it in together. Much stress about bags weighing over 50 pounds and then a long ride to the airport and we were all pretty quiet as well. Had a fairly long wait until the counter opened but I got a great check in agent and told him that one bag was lighter and others heavier and he said not to worry,..... they all weight 45 pounds. Victory for me! All that stress over a few pounds here or there. After checking in the bags we all met up in the bar to relax and recoup.


Nice flight over to Amsterdam on KLM and now we wait for boarding. We had a tearful goodbye to the rest of the group who are going to Tanzania and now we wait........ We have one stop over on the way, not sure which country and then.... Kampala. I have some fun pictures to go with this but don't have a sim card or any way of getting them from my phone. More as it unfolds and evolves.
