I’m not taking a boat, but I kinda think I’d get there just as quickly if I did: today I fly from Monrovia to Yaounde, Cameroon, via Nairobi of course, on a red eye that ends up at NBO at 5 am, but feels like 3 am to me because of the time change. This will be the third time I’ve taken this flight in the past five months. I walk up that weird ramp/staircase into the terminal, bleary eyed and exhausted, and buy juice at Java’s and try not to fall asleep in my chair.
(In case you’re wondering, the distance as-the-bird-not-the-plane-flies between Monrovia and Yaounde is 1,545 miles. The distance from Monrovia to Nairobi to Yaounde is 5,111 miles.)
I haven’t had as much time to blog lately as I would have liked, but I hope I’ll still get a few chances in Cameroon. And, hopefully I’ll also post soon about the work I did on a recent trip to Uganda that of involved, among other things, that same bleary eyed walk up those not stairs at NBO.

Safe trip Glenna! It’s amazing how difficult getting around by plane is within sub Saharan Africa! It’s actually quite frustrating.
Still hope to meet up in Monrovia some time!

Going to Kribi this weekend before I start the 5000 mile trek back to Liberia! Considering the priogue.
