Next Trip To Kenya - Official

After a near heart-attack when I checked air fares from Heathrow to Nairobi [again], only to find that KQ had put their prices up by £101 in a week, I scrabbled around the Internet to check prices at the other carriers who make a direct flight.

Bless you, Virgin Atlantic. Your prices were the same as last week, and as I was making my booking on-line, was very happy to see that the return trip was at a reasonable hour. On my last trip, the plane left at 9:15am, which meant being at JKIA at 7.00am, so, to avoid traffic, I spent the night there - not recommended.

I didn't even bother to check BA as they are nearly always more expensive.

So, I will be leaving here on 11 November and arriving at JKIA at 9:05am on 12th - give or take a few minutes.

Taxi to wherever I have to pick up the shuttle to Kisii, where I hope to arrive between 16:00 and 17:00.

So, now it is a question of careful packing, as I have a lot of children's clothes and toys to take out, as well as video and still photography equipment. I rather hope I might get the chance to see some animals, other than chickens, goats and lizards this time!
