Travel Day

I guess we had good tail winds, so the flight to Accra was only ten or eleven hours instead of 15 ! It is still a fairly uncomfortable overnight trip. Anyway we collected our checked baggage : 11bags plus the cooler containing the ultrasound machine. It appears to have arrived intact, but we will see for sure when we unpack it tomorrow. Dewalt and Wilfred were there to meet us. As we were driving in from the airport, Madame President called to say hello to Adamah, and  she invited us to come directly to her house for dinner. After enjoying that, and telling her the story of my experience at the airport with my visa, we all came back to the Bungalow where we will be staying. Santiago has ear plugs so he offered to take the bedroom next to the generator; I wasn't going to fight him on that ! Dr Macdonald came over to say hello and make sure we were all settled. After a glass of wine and a pleasant conversation, it was time for bed.
