Into Africa Once More.

You know you've stepped into a different world when the seedy little transfer lounge at the Nairobi Airport looks like a peaceful oasis at 7:00 in the morning. Surprisingly full, even at this early hour, every chair and bench occupied by weary travelers waiting to connect to the array of exotic sounding places that are Africa. Mogadishu. Entebbe. Kigali. Kilamanjaro. Names that conjure violence, adventure or romance, but which on this Wednesday morning are just places that people are going with their luggage and their laptops.

As for me, I will be in Kigali by noon, looking forward to a hot shower and a nap.

Let the adventure begin.
