Hey there my friends~
I am still in Kampala awaiting my red-eye to Amsterdam and then on to Portland (wait 3 hours) and then home!! I am looking forward to seeing my babies. My last trip to work trip to Africa was so different; Now, everyone--even the dude with a cardboard "kiosk" selling bananas has a phone. Boda Boda drivers speed through traffic on their phones. Our friends in the variety of organizations had phones--so in some sense-- the factor of 'african time' is softened by the mere fact that you can atleast call the person who is an hour late for your meeting to see if in fact they are really coming. Genuis!
Since I'm a pilots daughter, I love flying. My travel companions dread the long flights and the hassles of the airport. And while I don't relish those things, I do love the feeling and sounds of the airport. I LOVE the smell of jet fuel and like being in an international airport to people watch. And so, that is certainly what I will be doing on my short layover in AMS.
I have loads more to fill you in on and lots of pictures, video and observations to share. But for now, I must get to the airport.
Until later...
