And we thought it couldn't get worse!!

We were delayed 3 hours in Atlanta, so missed connections in Amsterdam. We really thought they would hold the Nairobi flight as there were at least 30 on our flight going to Nairobi, but no luck.  We were already booked on the next flight out that doesn't leave until 9:00 tonight arriving in Nairobi at 6:25 AM on Friday---barely in time to leave on our safari.  No sleep, no decent food-- it is becoming more and more difficult to see the positive in this.

Things look up when we find a Mc Donald's for a burger and then discover this Yotel at the airport. This is  the neatest concept. It consists of a series of cabins 12 square meters (the size of my closet) each with a shower, toilet and the cutest bed that folds out at the press of a button.  We revel in a shower and about 4 hours of sleep.  We have a wake up call just in  time to make our flight at 9:00 to Nairobi.

If you are confused by now as to what day it is or what time zone we are in or when we should take our meds, so were we!  All we want to do is get there.  

We arrive in Nairobi early and after 90 minutes to clear immigration and get luggage, we call Aaron for our pick up.  The airport is struggling to provide services for International travelers after the devastating fire nearly a month ago.  We have our luggage, so that is all we really care about.
