Kenya Get There From Here? (8/2-4)

The road from O’Hare to Kigali was long, but relatively uneventful, despite 3 time zone changes. Departing Chicago at 6pm on Tuesday, August 2, we finally reached Kigali this morning, August 4 at 9am. Neither American nor British Air offered a movie worth watching (we both gave Water for Elephants 2 stars), which allowed us to read for a few hours (of course, Anne finished more than 300 pages while Rick struggled to clear 100), and try to sleep (which means Rick cruised through 8 hours of deep REM, while Anne struggled to rest for three). En route, we snuck in a short respite at the luxurious BA First Class Lounge at Heathrow and a quick overnight stay at the not-so-luxurious Redcourt Hotel in Nairobi.
