Hello again from DRC! Never in a million years did I think I’d be back so soon!! However, I’m glad to be back and thankful for my awesome accommodations!! I’m also very thankful and blessed to have hooked up with OFA (Our Family Adoptions- such awesome volunteers!!!) God is so good and amazing!!
So let’s “chat” about my trip here :) There were a few events to be remembered!
First- I was seated in the middle seat of the middle isle and it was crowded, oh well, that happens… So I lean my seat back and it gets pushed back up- weird… but later I try to lean back again and lady behind me keeps pushing it up, so I turned around and told her I needed to lean my seat back. Well this totally awesome United flight attendant must have seen what was happening so she asked if I was traveling alone- I said yes. She then asked me if I would like to move up to an empty seat on the front row of our section (where you have enough leg room for Shaq to sit comfortably) uh… YEAH!! So awesome :-D
Next- I was trying to get a little shut-eye and the nice mother of 10 (no, none of them were on the flight) beside me taps me and tells me there’s a cat under the empty seat beside her. I’m thinking ‘Yeah lady, time to lay off the wine…’ But I look over anyway and, sure enough, there is this little black head looking up at me. Apparently this cat was traveling with a couple and had gotten away from them. I was able to get the cat out from under the seat and someone came up to me and claimed it- true story!
And then- to keep this short and sweet… I’ve never been sick on a plane before but my meal did not stay down- no fun!
Finally- I got the infamous pat down in Brussels… no worries, turns out that I had no weapons on my body.
So that’s the start of my grand adventure- great times! There’s already plenty more to write about but that ought to keep you happy for another day or so :)
Please continue to send your prayers and happy thoughts! They are needed, felt and appreciated greatly!!!
God’s Peace,
Rachel
