Day 13
July 22, 2011
Well, we had a great last evening in Kenya! We got into our trucks for our last "fun drive" and they took us to a beautiful spot in the Masa Mara where there was an amazing cocktail party set up with open bar, hot appetizers, a fire and a gorgeous view. After we got our drinks, everyone in the group told what they got out of the trip, what was the most meaningful experience. It was just wonderful.
Abbe bought us all little gifts. He is so thoughtful! We came back to the hotel, showered and had our last dinner in the bust. It was a special night for the family.
This morning we did not leave the hotel until 10am. We went to the airstrip, waited about 45 minutes for our flight, and then flew on to Nairobi. Since the overseas flights depart late at night, Tauck took us to the Nairobi Serena hotel, and had arranged for day rooms for everyone. The hotel is absolutely magnificent, and the lunch was great. Cathy and I spent about an hour and a half talking to Abbe. It was really nice. We are now relaxing in our room. We got all of our luggage back (we just had duffles in Masa Mari), so we will be reorganizing ourselves for the trip home. We will be gathering at 6pm for dinner and then it is on to the airport. We have a long trip home. The flight leaves for Amsterdam about 10:30pm, then we have an eight hour flight, followed by a six hour layover. Then on to JFK for a three hour layover and finally back to Ft. Lauderdale. We expect to be exhausted when we get home. However, we have so many spectacular memories from this trip, we can deal with a little tired!
