Travelin'

So we just got word today from our on-site contact, Justus, that we were cleared to fly in to Uganda on January 13 and that they would pick us up from the bus staging area in Kigali on the 14th. This is super good news for us because we were a bit weary they would not be able to arrange a pick up for us if we did not fly directly into Kigali - but they were more than happy to arrange pick up there. This is clearly exciting since we''ll be saving a little bundle on flights without having to fly in to Kigali.

So, currently, the flight plans (for Asst 1) are to fly out of Chicago on January 11th or 10th, layover in Amsterdam, then fly in to Uganda - landing on the 12th or 13th. If we land on the 12th we'll get to stay over in Entebbe for the night then jump on a bus the morning of the 14th. If we land on the 13th, we'll basically go straight from the airport to the bus stop. Apparently the buses leave at 4am from the bus stop and are first come first serve. So, we'll probably have to be getting there first!
