Off to Kenya: May 2018

My son, Adrian and I have been travelling for a week in Kenya.  We have been staying primarily in the rural (country) without wifi so I am just now starting my blog for this trip.  I will need to go back in time and try to catch up.
We left on our journey on Tuesday May 8th, leaving Kingston in the afternoon on a train to Toronto.  Our first overnight flight took us to Dubai where we spent 6 lovely hours in an airport lounge.  This was a surprise for Adrian and he was delighted that it included snacks, meals, beverages and even a hot shower.  How nice!  Our second flight took us to Nairobi where we passed immigration without incident.  Unfortunately only three of four bags arrived and they had to be transferred to the domestic terminal across the parking lot.  After checking our bags we went to the Paul Cafe of a delightful coffee.  A quick up and down flight from Nairobi to Kisumu took less than 50 minutes.  I spent a bit of time filing a claim for my lost bag, then it was off shopping for groceries with our host Daniel Otieno and an hour drive to the rural.  The Ramula community of the Siaya District of Kenya would be our home for the better part of two weeks.

Happy travellers!
