We are here!!! I thought I would kick off our blog with a quick synopsis of our travel experience. Lauren and I met up at DFW early yesterday morning. Our flight took off just before noon. We met Becca and Brook in the Chicago-O'Hare airport where all of our flights overlapped. It was so nice to finally meet Brook after all this time of knowing about her and knowing we will be spending so much time together.
In the Chicago airport we also met Florence. Florence is from Uganda and she told us that she was going back home after being in the states for a little over 2 years. She said that she has a son in Uganda that is only 3 years old and she hasn't seen him since she left to live in the US. I thought that was heart breaking and I wish I could have been there to see Florence and her son re-unite.
Every airport and airline was so different. DFW and Chicago airports were the usual big-city US airports. The Brussels airport was very spacious and I was surprised about how much was in english. Kigali's airport was tiny. We had to walk on the tarmac from our final flight into the airport. There are only 2 baggage claim terminals there and both were used for our incoming flight. It took us some time to find all of our luggage and load it into the cars, but we were just thankful it all made it to Kigali. Especially so, because Rebecca had emailed us about a week before to inform us of the baggage worker's strike in Brussels.
Gonna try and keep this brief because I know we have much more interesting things yet to come!
