December 19 London to Seattle/Tacoma

After discovering how long it would take to get into London, and not certain that there would be enough time to get in and back in time for the 2 hour check-in, we decided to sleep in. I forgot to mention in my last blog that our bags had indeed made it to London and the VA representative was able to book them onward to Seattle with Northwest Airlines. The one down side to all of that was Zach was unable to get his suitcase and access a change of clothing. As a consequence he arrived in Seattle as he had left Africa, in shorts and a t-shirt. Problem was Seattle had about 5" of snow on the ground and near freezing temperatures.

Our flight was full...not an empty seat to be seen. The flight crew was very diligent and kept us well fed and watered, no complaints at all. Happy reunion on the ground with my wife and eldest daughter then into the car for the ride home. I drove, and I must admit that some of the Paul Weaver school of defensive/offensive driving was still flowing through my veins. So much so that my wife had to comment on how I was taking more than my one lane. Anyway arrived home and thankful to be there.

I will try to bring a conclusion to my two weeks in Kenya in the next couple of days.
