Another traveling companion

We mentioned a third person traveling with us in addition to Gene and Kathy and she is Judy Freshman.  Judy was the person who originally convinced us to travel with her to Kenya in 2005.  She has been to Kenya visiting friends as well as going on safari so many times, we have lost count. Once more, she consented to come with us. 

Judy is traveling several days ahead of us to visit friends and their families and will meet us upon our arrival.  She also reports that the airport is open with no problems for international arrivals.  We have friends in Kenya who tell us that traffic around the airport is horrendous, and our friend Nick who is an engineer in charge of certifying plane safety at the Nairobi airport has suffered from space crunches since the fire.
