We arrived at Heathrow about half an hour after our flight to Nairobi had boarded and was probably already on it's way. We've been switched over to Turkish Airways and have to fly to Istanbul at 4:30pm London time, This is another 6 hour layover now here in London and we will have have a four hour layover in Istanbul and then will take a flight at about 1:00 am to Nairobi, arriving at around 7:30am. We will set a new record for the longest trip by a Redeemer team, which isn't easy, considering our problems on one of the trips caused by the volcano in Iceland. I have been trying to reach our friend Catherine in Nairobi to alert her to our situation. We could conceivably still go out to Lake Naivasha directly from the airport if she can arrange for our luggage to be delivered to our hotel.
Hurray! I just got an email from Catherine and all might not be lost. She's working on us still doing our usual activities Saturday since we really do need to get used to Kenyan time. If we can sleep from Istanbul to Nairobi, it might not be too bad. It'll just be tough not getting a shower until Saturday afternoon. Travel is glamorous!
I'll be able to cross Istanbul off of my bucket list now, wait a minute, it wasn't there! Our big hurdle now is whether American Airlines can manage to get our luggage to Turkish Air. If nothing else major happens, this should all work out pretty well, considering what's happened so far.
Please pray for travel mercies and I'll post another report as soon as I can.
