From Paris to Nairobi

Everyone got through security except for me. My hip replacement set things off and I had to wait in line to scan my shoes and then a good frisking. All is well.

We are now boarded, one more flight to go and we'll be in Nairobi by 8.45 pm.

I spoke too soon.  There were mechanical issues with our plane, another big Airbus and we were about an hour late getting into the air. The flight has been smooth. We're about 3 hours from Nairobi at this point. I always like an aisle seat because I practice what I  preach and make a point of staying hydrated. I have had kidney stones before and am keeping 2 DVTs at bay with compression socks. Anyway, this means a stretch is necessary whether nature calls or not. I had aisle on the first 2 flights but was assigned a middle on this one. Luckily for me a couple was in the row and wanted to sit together. They had 2 little girls in the row in front of us along with their Uncle who kept then occupied with Angry Birds and videos. Mom took the older daughter to the bathroom and the one near us was occupied for maybe 20 minutes. I got concerned for them and a large line had formed.  I woke her husband up and he banged on the door. Nothing. He forced the half locked door open and it was empty. There was a big sigh of relief and everyone laughed. Mom had gone to a different area.

This flight has free WiFi but it's only good for texting apps  it was more than $30 for full internet access and i didn't need it  I've used WhatsApp to keep Catherine posted and to plan tonight abd tomorrow, Facebook  Messenger for others and regular text to friends back in the States.
