Last Full Day in Kenya

I don't know how it has happened but today is my last full day in Kenya. I leave for the airport tomorrow at 2PM and fly to Dubai at 4:40PM. I have so many mixed feelings right now. I'm excited to go home. I do truly miss my friends and family. But the last couple of days saying goodbye to people over and over again has been really rough.

This morning I finally relented and packed my suitcases. They are heavy and full. I've still got some stuff to fit in them as well. I'm not sure how it will work but I know it simply has to work.

I met with Rev. Esther and have done the final check out sort of thing. I simply need Buri to finish filling out my final review so she can sign it. Hopefully that gets done today.

In case you want to track my planes as I go here are the flight numbers. Emirates flight 720 Nairobi to Dubai. Emirates flight 203 Dubai to JFK. United 11 JFK to SFO. I land in SFO at 2:33 PM on September 12th. To me that will feel like 12:33 AM on September 13th. So I leave at 4:40PM on the 11th and arrive at 12:33 AM on the 13th. That is a very long day.

I'll see many of you soon! I'll try to write more en route. I have many hours in airports between here and there so I'll need something to do.
