Today is the day! I’m going to South Africa.
The taxi picked me at half six in the morning, and we went to the airport via the post office. A big big thank you to my wonderful home-group in Exeter – you guys rock! I really appreciate all your support and how well you've kept in touch and been faithfully praying for me. It means a lot to me, and I’m looking forward to seeing all you beautiful people again next year. And another big thank you to Stacy Pearce who sent me After Eights all the way from Switzerland. I hope things are going well at your end, and I hope we can meet up when we're back in the UK.
So, I sat at Bourbon at the airport for an hour or so before checking in. I managed to spill a bottle of Fanta all over me, but fortunately I had a whole suitcase full of clothes with so I was able to get changed.
The flight was four hours long and I had the whole row to myself. I read, snoozed and ate. Happily Rwandair hasn't quite got the concept of plane food yet. The quality of the meal was better than what you'd get in most restaurants. I felt robbed of a genuine travel experience, but very appreciative of the first chicken breast I'd seen in three months.
I’m very excited to see everyone again and get some rest.
