I’m all checked in and sitting at the gate about to begin this journey. I’m not very excited about the 48 straight hours of travel ahead … wish I were like Hermione and could apparate!!
I heard from Shivani Bhalla, at Ewaso Lions, whom I am headed to visit. She said “lots” of rain on the way. And she said wildlife viewing will be “low”. They are thrilled it’s going to rain. I certainly am not. I was even less thrilled when I pulled up the weather and saw rain every single day of my trip no matter where I am. The rains are early. They usually come in November. So I threw a pair of rain pants into my duffle. I do hope I see plenty of wildlife. And I hope the lions are not all taking cover under bushes.
My bags are overweight. On the small planes we are allowed a total of 33 pounds INCLUDING hand luggage. They weighed my duffle at 23.5 pounds here. I know my backpack is more than 10 pounds. We will see what happens in Nairobi Wednesday morning.
In the meantime a lot of time in planes before then.
