Oy. That's really all I can say at this point. Oy.
I got on the flight to Kampala and it was half empty. Great! I had the middle row of 4 seats to myself and was able to stretch out and relax. We were served a decent lunch, started watching Juno, and then the announcement came. The plane had a technical difficulty and not to worry but we were turning around and returning to Brussels. Not To Worry??? Yeah, ok.
So, even though we were about half way to Nairobi (the flight was supposed to continue on to Kampala) we turned around and flew back to Brussels. The flight back wasn't too bad but every time we hit some turbulance or the plane noises changed we would all look at eachother and not move. Luckily, we landed safely and were once again ushered to a local hotel (if you find yourself coming to Brussels and need a place to stay I can now tell you about 2 different hotels - just let me know!). For dinner we were told to meet in a conference room and they had tables set up and a buffet for the group. It wasn't too bad.
Despite the craziness of this trip so far ... there are a few good things that I can pull from this experience - I am alive, I have met some interesting people, I am alive, I was able to rest between flights, I am alive.
What more can a person ask for?
