Supposedly how long it will take me to get from Seattle to Heathrow to Nairobi..
Here is a map of Kenya for your viewing pleasure.. 22 hours of airplanes will get me to the capital city of Nairobi, and 8 hours in bus will (hopefully) have me in Kitale, on the northwest side near Uganda. Also very close to the equator, which I like very much considering the Bellingham fall/winter downpours are starting already.
ETA in Kitale is sometime mid-Tuesday. I smell major jet lag. Still jet lagged from France but so excited to get going! 2 years ago I would've paid good money just to stay far, far away from Africa. It took hearing a 70-year old Australian granny talk about living there for the last 20 years and the enormous amount of need this entire continent has to change my mind. All of a sudden I was not okay just giving her some money to feed a few hungry kids; I felt something asking me if I had some great excuse why I couldn't go over and do something about the situation myself.
And I didn't.
So here I go!
More later from the other side of the world!

Sounds like the makings for a great trip. Have fun with the jet lag, sometimes it can feel like you're going out of your mind (which can be a good thing from time to time).
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
Can't wait for more...
ReplyDeleteBlessings on ya! I'm excited for you and what God will do in you and around you :-) I have felt the same way about Africa my whole life... I wonder if God will change my mind sometime too :-) Looking forward to hearing about it and seeing pics!
