I'm sitting in Brussels airport feeling a bit disconnected. We left home at 3.45am and flew her from Manchester at 6.45. To get to our gate we walked the length of the airport and caught a bus. Its a bit disorientating on less than 5 hours sleep! On the plus side we were, in the words of our friend Rachel, privileged to see the sunrise over Belgium, and Brussels airline serves nice almond croissants for breakfast.
I can't believe we're off again. So much for deciding once every two years at the most. We had a message from 'young' Tom this morning that set us up for the day. ... Really excited about seeing our friends again.
After a break I'm picking this up again over Juba having seen the amazing Nile and the sunset over Africa. Rachel is right, it's something that you can't underestimate - being able to fly across the world, see incredible sights, have the joy of making new friends and maybe in some small way helping to make someone's life more bearable by supporting Global Care. At the minute I'm just holding out for a reasonable nights sleep tonight, but the nerves have been joined by a sense of excitement and anticipation.
Next stop Entebbe.
