Reading matter for the flights (via Dubai) include Karen Blixen's Out of Africa - sadly the Danish original, whilst very cheap to get online from Denmark, would have cost the equivalent of an hard back first edition with postage and packing added!

All the bags have been packed and re-packed; weight allowances almost met, tickets checked, mis-laid, re-discovered, - as I said no "frequent flyer" am I - that was just the rail tickets to Manchester Airport!

An evening departure from misty Manchester will hopefully be replaced by a pleasant mid-afternoon arrival in Nairobi Tuesday 23rd. Will the climbing roses and honeysuckle from Preston be matched by the bougainvilla of Kenya? The excitement and anticipation is increasing!
Hello intrepid traveller without frequent flyer kilometres. Great to read your entries and I was impressed with the details of the recent conference.
