I set my alarm for 5:30. They decided I needed to get up At 4:50am. Oh well. Got ready, a little coffee and took the bus to the airport. I decided to beat the crowds. Had to go through security shoes off etc then pass port control then security again finally in the waiting area for an hour or so. I walked up towards the gate. There were a lot of people milling around. One guy said some town and Victoria Falls. He hustled us into line to wait 20 minutes then wait on the bus for 20 minutes then board and the plane was mostly empty. So I did get my own row. This was an old and work out 787. Ran hard and put away dirty. My tv kept turning off and the light kept tuning on. Crazy. I was watching for Kilimanjaro and saw it!!!
Easy getting off the plane, people were still pushing to get ahead. America is so civilized. Visa for all three countries in one.$50. Passport stamped. Guy with my name at the exit. Cold water and AC on the short drive to Victoria Falls Safari Lodge.
I need a nap. Instructed not to leave window or doors open because of the monkeys and baboons. Apparently they have tetanus but not rabies. Luckily I am vaccinated against both!
