We're Here!


Oh my gosh! We're in NAIROBI, KENYA!!!! If we were world jet-setters, I would say (ever so non-chalantly) "If it's Thursday, this must be Nairobi." But since we're Soooo NOT part of the jet-setting world, I'm saying "omg, Omg, OMG!!! We're in NAIROBI!! It's 11:30 p.m. on Thursday, and it's 4:30 p.m. on the east coast. We left Boston at night, and we arrived in Nairobi at night, so no exciting pictures yet--just from the airport! We're leaving at 9:00 a.m. on Friday (2:00 a.m. Fri. on the east coast) to fly to Samburu Wildlife Reserve in northern Kenya. Talk about airport security: At customs in Kenya, they take digital imprints of your fingerprints, and digital eye imprints. Security checked the jeep before leaving the airport--twice--and once we arrived at the Serena Hotel in Nairobi, security did a metal sweep under the jeep.


When we left our house on Wednesday, we found out that our Boston flight was delayed, so we scrambled to get another flight--no beds/cocoons--but we had bulkhead seats, so it was o.k. Off to bed! :-)
