I am currently sitting in the Buffalo Niagara International Airport waiting for my flight, I might have gotten here a little bit earlier than necessary. There are still people at my gate waiting for the last flight to get going, and I've got about another hour and a half before boarding. I went to see Sam and Addi yesterday, after spending four hours at a dermatologists office for my grandpa's appointment. Normally my Dad would go, but Mom and Dad are in Florida right now, and normally it wouldn't take four hours. Grandpa started to get antsy after about an hour waiting. Oh well, I guess he can use a little excitement in his life!
As for me, I don't like waiting in airports very much. It's pretty boring, and it's not very comfortable, and there never seems to be any food that I want to eat. But, when there is wireless internet I'm much happier. Especially when its basically free (I took a short survey to get online here, about 30 seconds). I'll board at about 5:30, head to JFK in New York City, then board again at about 11:30, head to Istanbul, then from there to Nairobi. Once in Nairobi I'll get my visa, exchange my money, and head over to the domestic terminal. Then I'll wait for about 10 hours and get on board again for Malindi. From Malindi I'll take a cab to Watamu, where A Rocha Kenya is located.
I'm really excited but also really nervous. It's scary going to a new place, where most people are going to be awesome, but some want to screw you over, and you're not sure which is which. I've had lots of talks with people who have gone to Kenya, so I'm hoping that I am pretty well-prepared for this, and it will definitely be a learning experience. That's all for now, I'll try to write soon after getting to A Rocha!
