Saturday 10:45p Dar/2:45p Charlotte
We’re sitting in Julius Nyerere Int’l Airport in Dar es Salaam finally getting to eat dinner. Toasted cheese sandwiches and fries. We had to shift some weight from suitcase to suitcase at check-in because 3 of 4 were over the 23kg (50 lbs.) weight limit. At $75 fee each, we couldn’t keep them that way. After sweating away 6 pounds (so stinkin hot here), I had all of the 4 checked pieces under and we were on to immigration. No problem. Now just waiting on the plane. Boarding is supposed to begin in 20 minutes. That’s the KLM plane over my left shoulder.
