Sunday evening in Nairobi

I notice that my "IT" support was not able to "find" the wonderful description I tried to post from Lilongwe yesterday. I wonder if it truly is lost!

Now I'm here in the green zone of Nairobi with wireless internet connection in my room!! However, the signal is low in my room, so I'm here in the business center using my laptop....On my way down here, I walked by a room that said, "Executive Housekeeper." Goodness, what a leap I've made.

"Anthony" picked me up at the airport in Nairobi. Not the one that picked me up in Lilongwe, but he was equally pleasant....It's just so easy to become immediate friends when you talk about Obama.

I almost became the "ugly American" on my flight here on Kenya Airways. I confirmed my flight in Blantyre, and they assigned me seat 22A. When I checked in at the airport in Lilongwe this morning, they said the seat was taken and assigned me seat 18A. Boarding the plane (you take a bus out to the airplane and board by climbing the steps...), the head guy said, "free seating!" What that meant was that a pleasant looking nun was sitting in 18A. There were only interior seats left, the nun wouldn't budge, and I couldn't put my carry on up to stow. So, I went back to the head guy who brought out the head gal to explain that they had to change planes here.
