We have made it to Nairobi after two 8-hour flights. For those who don't sleep well on airplanes, it was pretty rough. We made it to the Methodist Guest House about midnight … we looked more like the walking dead than a dedicated team of volunteers.
For those of you worried about family members, everyone is doing fine. There were no lost passports, misplaced visas or other mishaps. Getting through Kenyan customs was relatively smooth. We connected at the airport with Jeff Punch who flew in from doing a week of kidney transplants in Ethiopia.
All that being said, we plan on a good night of sleep in a horizontal position. We are up early Saturday to meet our drivers and head off to Meru on the north side of Mount Kenya. It's about a 200-mile drive that will take us well over 5 hours … if we make good time. We'll send an update once we arrive in Meru with highlights of the drive. For many on the team, this will be their first look at Kenya.
Hope all is well at your end!
