It's been over a month since I've entered a blog and so much has happened. I've been to Narok and back and am just now feeling like I'm rested from my visit to my family in Kenya.
I was to leave Mar. 25 and because of a late plane and no other flight to get me on I was bumped one day and actually left on Mar. 26 at 11:35 am. Needless to say I wasn't happy about the delay but all worked out in that the two long flights, United upgraded me to the "Comfort Plus" seats which were great and I was sitting by some really nice people so it made it worth it. My family in Narok were able to change their plans to pick me up one day later in Nairobi.
Upon arriving in Nairobi finally on Mar. 27 8:40 pm, it was a welcome sight to wave at my beautiful daughter waiting for me on the other side of customs. Getting the three bags I had checked in took forever it seemed. Once I got them and through Customs (which wasn't bad), I finally was able to hug my daughter and get on our way to our room for the night. Upon arrival there, we both snuggled in for a good night's sleep at 10:30 pm. I was ready for some sleep.
The next morning after a nice breakfast and coffee in our room, we left with our taxi driver, Peter, and made our way to our first stop, a beauty shop where Danielle has an appointment to get her hair cut. Her new cut is really nice and easy to take care of; it seemed quite short, but as Danielle said, "It'll grow back fast". We then went to the Health Center where she had her Prenatal labs drawn. After that, we went to the Westgate Mall where she had to do a little shopping and then we ate at the Sub Zone (Subway Kenyan style) and dessert at the Planet Yogurt, yummy! Danielle had a ultrasound scheduled but because of her getting money at ATM and time she got back to doc for ultrasound, he was at lunch and she would have to wait for 2 hours and she said, 'forget it, we're heading back to Narok." Narok was 2 1/2 hours away and we were ready to head home and so we did.
