ON OUR WAY TO KENYA!

Arrived in London around midnight last night.  Our plane was half-empty, so we had the luxury of taking up an entire row for each of us.  This was a boon for catching up on lost sleep.  We were up till midnight with last minute packing, and woke up at 3 am for our 6 am flight out of Albany. 

We are staying at a very nice hotel near Heathrow. The hotel must have thought that Martina was rooming with us.  Instead of the room we booked, they gave us the International Suite!  We had a fireplace and an incredible bathroom, with a shower that had 6 different spray head things. 

A Londoner, upon hearing we were New Yorkers, called us "half a paddy", meaning we were Irish immigrants - which we (sort of) are.

Back to Heathrow for our flight to Nairobi.  Blizzard here in England, with lots of flights cancelled--but we are fine.

Happy Trails,  

Linda and David
