Halfway there...

I am writing from London where after a 7 hour layover we have a 2-hour delay (minimum) due to a plane that "missed the runway" shortly after I arrived, causing all sorts of cancellations and delays. I was blessed to be sitting on the flight from Seattle with a missionary family of 5 on their way to Malawi, so we've been hanging out at the airport together, watching each other's bags. I called my friend Victor who is picking me up, to tell him that the plane is delayed. Turns out I was confused about which day I was arriving, and he waited three hours at the airport for me this morning. Oops! I also arranged a dinner for about 10 of my friends in Dar, which has already happened. Hope they had fun!

That is SO FUNNY that you're a day later than you told everyone. I hope you don't mind me laughing a lot at that. Thanks for being so prompt with an update - it's so exciting to keep up with your trip.

Very neat that you have some friends to share the layover with. Bummer about missing dinner, hopefully you can reschedule it! Funny that you have a friend "Rachel Ann" since I'm Rachel Anna! Looking forward to reading more.
