Traveling Companions
Well, I have now currently arrived in Nairobi and am enjoying my time here. To give you a brief summary…I was scheduled to land on the 4th of July but did not arrive until a day later. My flight from the United States arrived on time in London, but as we were beginning to land we were told we needed to wait for 25 minutes to land. They were only using one runway apparently. So we flew around for 20 minutes. I only had one hour to get off the plane, get through security, and reboard my destination plane. Well, in any airport one hour is not enough time to get across the terminal with all the security checks and things nowadays, but in London apparently you are legally allowed 30 minutes! Whatever person thought of that must be have had more than sugar in their tea and crumpets! It took me 45 minutes to get to the gate once I got off the plane! Needless to say I missed the flight. However, since I arrived at 10:00 a.m I decided to take the day to site see, courtesy of British Airways. After booking my hotel and rebooking my flight for the next day I headed to the hotel.
During all this hassle I met two more people in the same predicament as me. We all three missed the flight to Nairobi, so we all three decided to take a tour of London together. I rather enjoyed the detour! It was nice to relax and take some time to enjoy traveling, instead of worrying about it. In the process I made two new friends, one is now in Sudan, and the other a Kenyan who lives here in Nairobi. Even before arriving to in Nairobi I had already made a friend! I think the Father confirmed that this is where I am to be.
