Arrival in Nairobi


Deb says:

Dan and I made it to Nairobi in one piece. It is one hell of a flight even from the East Coast (16 hours) so we are really glad that we made the decision to break up the trip with some stops to see family and friends.

We had an awesome long layover in Boston and were able to have lunch with Steph, Janson, Renny and Will who are all great friends from different parts of our lives.

So far, Nairobi has been pretty nice. It's a big city, but the people are very friendly (even when not trying to sell us safari trips).

But MAN are we white.....

Dan says:

Highlight of the trip so far: JP Licks ice cream in Boston for my birthday. A close second -- getting to see Will, Janson, Steph, and Renny (JP Licks makes some FINE ice cream). Christine -- thanks for letting Will miss your graduation to come play with us (and we hope to meet you soon!).

Nairobi's pretty fun -- in a busy, dirty, congested, city kind of way. We've been dropping food on the sidewalk then eating it in an attempt to build up our immunity (just kidding, Mom).

Nice to hear that you guys made it okay. 16 hours? Wow. I think I would have jumped out of the plane just to relieve the sheer boredom.

Stay safe.

Hey Deb & Dan,

Glad you made it...Chloe and Max say HI. It seems like you've been gone a really long time...already.

Alls well at the old homestead. We're just plugging along...no big animals or snakes or bugs...really boring. Although Chloe was on the hunt this morning.

Take Care and keep us posted.

Aloha
Diane
