...and so am I! This cow at my front door reminded me of coming home, and I am hoping to go first class, scenic route just like the cow.I leave Kakamega on Wednesday December 1st on the 6:20pm flight to Kisumu. The Army will provide me with a car and driver to take me the 50 km/30 miles to the airport; it will only take 1 1/2 hours. The pothole situation extends from Kakamega to Kisumu, with no filler in sight. The Prime Minister is from Kisumu, but the word on the street is he never has to drive anywhere, so he pays no attention to the road crisis. It is a 45 minute flight to Nairobi where I will spend 4 3/4 hours...my last chance to top off my quest for lavish gifts from Kenya.
My next flight is to London and I will be armed with Tylenol PM as it is an 8 hour flight. Because I may be a bit over-wrought, I will need the PM Tylenol. The home stretch, London to LAX, allows me 5 1/2 hours in London, with a few Great British pounds, just in case. My Go-To Tyler is massaging an upgrade on the American Airlines leg from London Heathrow, and I am confident he will work his magic. I will leave London at 11:45am on Thursday December 2nd, pulling into LAX at 2:25pm.
To say I am excited to be coming home is an understatement, but I am finishing off the purchase of the books for the library, kissing my kids on both cheeks, closing the house, giving my clothes away, trying to chip away at my Gin Rummy deficit (Shanon: 102,760/Roxanne: 100,085), and saying good-bye to my Kenyan pals....
California, here I come
Right back where I started from....
If I were you, I'd take something stronger than Tylenol PM! Looking forward to your return. I need a bicycling companion.

Make sure you bring back your cow. She looks like she needs a new home; and she enjoys riding in convertibles.
ReplyDeleteWe are anxious to have you back, and we are so grateful for the giving face of americans you have shown a developing country. You should be proud of the life long difference you have made in the lives of you students.
