Take Off...

Actually I'm still in the UK (feels like I'm never going to leave!!) but I have left Leeds now for at least 4 months - strange feeling - and I fly tomorrow so next time I'll finally have something interesting to write about :)

However I don't know when that next time will be. I'm not sure what my internet access is going to be like in Kenya seeing as I don't have my own laptop and so far my phone has been pretty useless. ARK (Arocha Kenya) have advised me that I probably won't be able to use their office computer as it will naturally be tied up with Arocha Business. And as yet I don't know when my days off will be when I'll get time to wander into Watamu and search out an internet cafe. It could all be a bit hit and miss...

So this could be it... the shortest blog in history :(

Plans for tomorrow & the next day
Manage to get all my bags on the train to Kings Cross and then as far as Archway Tube station without collapsing (Archway is on the way to Africa honest)
Have lunch with a friend - I hope you're looking forward to some bag carrying Trudi
Get back on the tube to Heathrow in one piece after leaving a few items at Trudi's that will come in handy next February - brrr!
Finally get rid of my luggage - yay!
Get very excited about going through the barrier - it was never me while I was growing up!
Enjoy the flight a lot
Regret not having slept all night when I land at Nairobi Kenyatta Airport at 6.30am
Walk around in sunglasses trying to look confident and not get approached by anyone while waiting for connecting flight
Finally arrive in Malindi at 12.15 (9.15 GMT)
Get met by someone..? Possibly Henry and Belinda but not confirmed...
Get my first real taste of Kenya

After all that who knows... soon find out though...
