TZ 2016 ….GO

The tail of our plane, as seen from the lounge window.

I always stay up too late the night before I leave on a big trip.  It was the same last night.  There is always one more thing to find and pack, books to buy for my kindle while I still have good wi-fi service, a dish to wash, or even a blog post to write and post.  The alarm went off after achieving about 4 and half hours sleep.  I didn’t register it at first.  It was still dark out, and recently it has been quite light when it is time to get up.

 

The car arrived right on schedule, and after a final pat to each of the cats, who I am sure will take excellent care of the house while we’re gone (no they won’t, but Chris will) we got all four bags plus backpacks loaded into the car and headed south to JFK airport.  Bill had made some coffee with freshly roasted beans and found some disposable “go” cups, so we sat like royalty in the back of the car, sipping our morning Java.

 

Comfy seats in the lounge while we wait for boarding time.

Bill was offered a deal for an upgrade when he went online to check us in, so dropping off luggage and going through security was a breeze.  And we’ll get to sit upstairs with oodles of leg room in the Air Bus between NYC and Dubai.

 

We are now relaxing in a lounge, enjoying a little breakfast and catching up on the communications we didn’t have time for in the rush of the last few days.

 

I ask your prayers for our safe travel and also for myself and our family as we deal with some not-unexpected news that came as we drove to the airport.  In the mean time, God is good. Munga ni mwema wakati wote!
