Well, I'm enjoying the internet Kiosk in London once again. It's been amazing to spend a month with my mom, experiencing the Sierra Leonian culture even more that I already have, but I'm very happy to be heading home to my fiance, my own bed, my own kitchen and proper grocery stores. It has definitely been an experience to remember.
As always, travel from africa is never easy. The plane didn't leave until 11:50pm last night, but you have to be at the airport terribly early even though this is the only plane leaving. It takes an extreme amount of time for Sierra Leonians to do ANYTHING and checking people in at the airport is no exception. I took the 7pm hovercraft over to Lungi, was in line by 8... about 4 hours early... .let me remind you this was the ONLY flight leaving the country that night, so...really... how on earth does it take 4 hours to check in one plane that's not even 2/3 full??? Well, it does take some effort to be that inefficient, but they've got that covered.
Anyways, it's about time for me to go find my gate here in London... then an 11 hour flight to LAX, finished with a quick hopper flight on to San Diego. I can't wait!
