Blog 8-8-10 Sunday
Shortly after takeoff we arrived into Sunday. About 8 hours later we were Amsterdam and a layover there. (Apologies to MikeV and Michelle – I was a noisy sleeper!!C) Kathy had a rough night with some altitude sickness…needing fluids and some oxygen. Security was thorough in Amsterdam as we boarded our flight for Mpls. Where have you been? Do you know everyone in the group? What have you been doing? Besides the usual questions about luggage and who packed it and has it ever been out of your sight?
Off to Mpls where we re-entered the USA and went through customs. Half of our group had finished the trip and headed home. The other half boarded late for Omaha and the pilot really flew and I think almost made up the time!! We landed in Omaha after 25 ½ hours in transit.
The rest of my story is I got lost in Omaha – sort of, went to McDonalds in Missouri Valley and had a delicious hamburger and diet Coke with ice. After Denison – storms hit and the wind blew…eventually I sat for 15 minutes in Kiron. Then a detour north of Odebolt, then Hiway 71 closed going north into Storm Lake- so around through Nemaha, and connecting with 7 and 71 to get into Storm Lake. Finally at 10:00 I got home. (Cayla beat me to Storm Lake by many hours driving from Mpls.)
And so ends Safari 2010 to Tanzania – Life is an Adventure!!
