Expectations: they will get ya! We expected that by now we would be close to touching down in Uganda to sun, 85 degrees and the beauty of the pearl of Africa. Sigh. Turns out we are currently in a VERY cold Amsterdam for a total layover now of 24 hours. Our flight in Seattle left two hours late, so we had a super tight connection. However, Rob and I straight up sprinted to our gate. Only to find out that while they were still letting passengers on and there were still tons of seats, they wouldn't let us on because they changed our next flight while we were in air. Nothing like some good old fashioned nonsense at 3 a.m. PST time to really make your day. So after some very long lines with service desks, two tired and frustrated travelers, and a hubby with a big headache... We shuttled to an airport hotel.
Going into Amsterdam would be a bit of a shuttle circus and Rob is fighting a cold and currently enjoying some zzzzzs. So we are going to re-set and hope for the best tomorrow! Direct flight from Amsterdam to Entebbe, so that is good. I have a good feeling it will go smoothly.
So, all that to say, we will be 24 hrs 'late' in our arrival to the village... So basically on time and already operating on African time. :) Thanks God for the reminder that we aren't in control (even when you run your heart out).
when in amsterdam....
