Please remove all liquids and store in a transparent 1liter resealable bag...

It looks like I´m not going to be able to blog much here from Busia. We do have the internet, but the connection is precarious and ssssssssllllllllllllooooooowwwwwww. I´ve aged significantly waiting for this page to load. I´m not even going to try to post a pic, as I´ll reach retirement before it uploads.

Anyway, I just want my friends and family to know that I made it here safely. It took five days to get to Busia from New York, including overnight stops in Barcelona and Nairobi, lost luggage, and cancelled flight. My final itinerary was New York--London--Barcelona--Amsterdam--Nairobi--Kisumu--Busia. I took NYC subway, airtrain, five planes, Barcelona Airbus, and several car/taxi rides. It probably would have only taken four days to get here in the days before the retarded no-liquids-allowed business slowed travel down to a snail´s pace. [Yet another reason to hate George W. Bush.] I had a heated discussion with security about whether bug repellant counts as a true spray. The security tech thought the only spray permitted is deodorant.

Anyway, I made it here eventually. I am adjusting slowly. More details if I find a better internet connection someday...
