Rwanda or BUST!

Kigali...and Bujumbura too...
We were all surprised to hear that we could only have ONE carry-on item per person.
This led to chaotic repacking and stuffing small bags into medium bags into big bags... for example, Hillary's purse in Caroline's backpack in Danny's backpack.
It worked great until we got to the gate, and they said, "I don't think so."
Danny refused to check his bag, unless he could walk it to the plane and load it himself...
AMAZINGLY...they let him.
We all slept soundly on our bumpy, 100 seater plane.
We unexpectedly took a detour through Bujumbura, Burundi which is actually passed Kigali.
Finally, we arrived in Kigali around 2 am!!!
We filled out more forms (we're pros) and collected less than half of our luggage.
We still can't figure out how we had all of our luggage in Nairobi, but it didn't make it to Kigali.
We personally think they left in Burundi as payback for Danny's oversized carry-on.
2 hours later...filling out even more forms for our missing luggage...it's 4 am once we leave the airport.
Unsure of day or time...WE NEED SLEEP!
