Shanley and I both left out of Seattle yesterday and are presently in-route to our final destination: Cape Town. We will be meeting in Amsterdam shortly, but for now I'm grounded in Washington D.C. at Dulles. Well... not exactly at Dulles any more; I checked into a hotel after my checked bag couldn't be immediately checked for my next flight (the bag is full of medical supplies and other things that violate the 3oz TSA liquid limitation). Here's the thing, I arrived in Dulles at 06:00 this morning and my connecting flight doesn't leave until 19:30 this evening. What complicates the situation is that I'm flying 2 different airlines, and KLM (the airline that will take me over the pond and so forth) doesn't open their ticketing desk until 15:00. So, I'm stuck with a bag that I have to re-check and I will probably have to pay another erroneous baggage fee. Normally I NEVER CHECK BAGGAGE... seriously. I am a carry-on only kind of gal, but this was an exception and the medical supplies are needed for the program, so I broke my own rule. Lesson learned.
Nonetheless, my spirits are in good order: nothing a hot shower, a three hour nap and free WIFI can't fix!
Alright, you should be somewhere over/in Africa at this point. Clearly I anticipate the first thing you do, to be creation of a blogpost. This is wonderful Molly! I hope you're doing well and look forward to the next status update.
