By coincidence the day I flew out to Uganda was the 30th anniversary of when Ken and I got engaged. We enjoyed out last evening together for a while by eating out at a small Bistro in Pontyclun.
Having packed my case I discovered that it was nearly 5kg over the weight limit – it didn’t help having only 20kg for the case. This was not so much due to clothes but the 8 cans of mosquito repellent (I got on special offer), the mosquito net, towels, torches, laptop (and wires), hand sanitiser, first aid kit, clean needle kit etc etc. I debated whether to leave out all the toiletries and buy them on arrival but I didn’t think this would solve the problem; so I decided that I would put in what I thought I needed and brave the excess baggage payment at the checkout. Once we got to the checkout however no one mentioned being over the limit and I just sailed through.
It was only Ken and I at the airport, Sarah my daughter was working and Anthony my son decided to go back to bed. It’s hard to say goodbye when you haven’t really been apart for more than 5 days before – not one of my strong points. But the time will soon go and I’ll be back before I know it.
