November 20: Flights (mini post)

This is a mini blog post (too many characters for a Twitter post). 

I'm here in Kigali with a cancelled flight. Only found out the flight was cancelled when we got to the airport.

If you are ever traveling to the Continent, particularly domestic or international flights within the region, pack your patience. It's inevitable that you will have some kind of travel issue.

Might be in-flight related (eg your tv screen or seat recline doesn't work). Might be boarding related (eg no space for your carry-on cause people roll with suitcase sized luggage and multiple bags - myself included). Might be customs and immigration related (eg I've been searched and patted down and taken into little back rooms - a post is still coming about traveling in the Continent with dreads and a beard). Might be pre or in-flight food related (eg mind what you eat before you fly and on the flight).

But at the end of the day, with your malaria pills, pack your patience.
