[ My Flight ]

Here are a few words that will summarize my flight experience: 49.5 - broken - marriage - indian

My interesting flight begin to be memorable right from the beginning. The flight representatives were already shocked that one flight person was carrying five bags, but hey, i moved halfway accross the world! And it was absolutely hilarious to see them weigh my bags. After much puzzling and weighing the night before with my family, I made sure that each of my suitcases were at the limit weight: 50 pounds. And as each bag went on the scales it kept reading 49.5. It was hilarious! Although, one of my bags was a tad over but he was nice enough not to charge me!

I made it to the Chicago airport. I was awful bored there, especially in the international terminal but that soon diminished when I was asked to be a WITNESS to a wedding! A couple was on the same flight as I towards Africa for a safari and to be married in Africa! Unfortunately they were told that they had to get married in the states first in order for the Kenyan wedding to be official. So right in the middle of the international terminal they had a wedding! And no, I am not kidding. It was quite the experience.

I made it to London, finally, and I was waiting in this very long security line when I noticed that a young indian boy was looking at me and then whispering to his mother. and then he looked at me again and then whisper. at this point i had no sleep whatsoever, but i smiled at him and said "hello." and he said "hello. why are you so white?" and me (not having sleep) said, "because i come from ohio, and there isnt much sun there." (okay..that was a dumb answer but i was TIRED!) the boy turned at his mom and whispered some more and the boy looked back at me and said, "we are from ohio too..." haha..i didnt know how to respond and luckily they were next for security! :)

the air flight from London to Nairobi was not that fantastic especially since my TV screen was broken. and there was not any other places to change seats at. so i spent nine hours looking out the window and swinging my legs. but its all good because i am here...SAFE on Rosslyn Academy campus. It is very beautiful here. I will post pictures when I get time.

miss you and love you all very mucH! thank you for coming with me on this journey! :)
