Due to the delay we experienced in
the Toronto airport, what was supposed to be 26 hours of transition
between home and Kijabe turned into 50 hours of travel. You can only
imagine how surreal it felt as we finally landed at the Nairobi
airport. Soon after we arrived, we discovered only one suitcase out of
12 pieces of lugguage had made it to the Nairobi baggage terminal.
Realizing the mad dash at the Toronto Airport while they pushed three
British Airway planes out during the same evening, we weren't
surprised our lugguage didn't make it through our flight connection. We
were disappointed but certainly not devasted. Many of the passengers
were missing some of their lugguage too which made us believe we will
eventually get our things. As you might have noticed, we've had to wait
for many things since we have been preparing for Kenya. This situation
seemed "almost" normal to us.
in our cupboards and fridge, offered meals to us
on a daily basis, and have given us quick personal orientations to our
dorm and the school. We have been doubly blessed during our first week
in Kenya because we have been so wonderfully provided for at a time we
had so few resources of our own.
