Life is an adventure. Safe travels.

I knew it was a bad sign when I looked lovingly down at my backpack today only to find that I had lost the Obama ’08 button I had just moments before put on it. “Ah crap, that can’t be good.” I said to myself. So my flight out of Atlanta was delayed by over two and a half hours due to weather and heavy air traffic blah blah blah and because of the delays I missed my connecting flight to London and subsequently Free Town (since there is only one British Airways flight out of Heathrow a day and it leaves at 1:30 pm). So now I write to you from the comfy confines of room 850 of the Newark Airport Marriott. I am booked for an 8:00 am flight that is due to arrive London tomorrow evening at 8:00 pm and that means I could possibly make it to Freetown on Tuesday but in order for that to happen I will need to work with another airlines because apparently British Airways does not have a flight to Freetown scheduled for Tuesday, September 30^th. Of course you would think with Sierra Leone being the swinging hot spot that it is there would be multiple flights in but I guess not. Besides all that mess I nearly got spewed on by a toddler on the flight to Newark (loads of turbulence). With mere inches to spare I escaped the fountain of vomit but had to endure the lingering smell (as did all the other passengers) of the contents of a two year olds stomach. Not being vomited on is a plus and I was able to retrieve my bag from Delta so maybe my missing Obama button is not a curse. Let’s hope not, I will keep you posted.
