The shortest distance between 2 points remains a straight line. After an uneventful flight last night from San Diego to London Heathrow and a layover of approximately 3 hours, we were delayed over an hour after boarding for the 2nd leg in our flight journey through Doha in Qatar. As a result of the delay, we missed our connecting flight to Kilimanjaro and are spending nearly 8 hours in the Hamad International airport in Doha. Not much happening here at our arrival time of 130 a.m. Gratefully, we are rebooked on a flight later this morning, albeit with a stop in Dar es Salaam before our terminus of Kilimanjaro. Silently entreating the travel gods to have our duffel bags arrive along with us! We have been "killing time" without a lot to do save email communications to our tour operator and home to apprise both of our misfortune and some rather disinterested gawking at the over the top opulence of the designer stores in the terminal..
We will overnight in Arusha, joining the rest of our tour group which is composed exclusively of women travelers, except for Josh and Leslie! What we are most looking forward to are: a hot shower, clean clothes & desperately lacking sleep.
An early morning start is planned tomorrow as we head to the South/Western Serengeti in the Ndutu area to the first of our tented camps.
