what is this? justin’s travel woes? for some reason, second attempt at leaving RDU was delayed 20 minutes due to weather in detriot. i’m not sure how, but this seemed to eat up my *entire* hour-long layover, and I MISSED MY PLANE TO AMSTERDAM!!! agh! i mean, after SPRINTING with my bags from A29 to A54, i arrived at my gate at 7:15pm (the plane was to depart at 7:10pm) and we had been told that they would hold international flights for us. yeah right.

you won’t even believe what my freaking itinerary looks like now. i’m taking a later flight to amsterdam tonight, but that gets me into amsterdam too late to catch my flight to dar es salaam. so now i’m spending 9 hours in amsterdam. then I’m leaving for nairobi. that’s nairobi, kenya. then from nairobi i’m flying to dar es salaam, arriving early tuesday morning. original dar ETA: 27-July at 10:30pm. current dar ETA: 29-July at 8:40am.

some would rejoice at an amsterdam layover, but i’m going to be getting there just about at the point of complete exhaustion. so i may have to take advantage of a day room. in any event, make sure your dials are set to justinsomnia tomorrow for the next installment, entitled “i am not in nairobi”.
