We left for MEM around 9 a.m. yesterday morning. Flight to Dallas and then onto London were fine. Bag and LWW trunk arrived in London as planned. We now have to check the LWW trunk back in here at Heathrow for the London -> Accra portion of the trip. We have a bit of a layover here at Heathrow, our flight to Accra is not schedule to depart until 13:25 London time - so we are camped out for the next 5.5 hours - then a short hop (6.5 hours) to Accra, another hour to get LWW trunk out of the airport - probably 9:30 Accra (+6 to MEM) - all in all will be a 31 hour journey.
We are looking forward to getting into Accra, reconnecting with everyone, and then heading to Anum where we will meet up with a few more of the group.
Flight to London was pretty good, we sat around some good travelers. I had a bit of trouble falling asleep, so I tuned into the on plane entertainment system and listened to the audio book “Moby Dick”. I was out before Captain Ahab enter the plot! However, I made it further into the book than I did in 12th grade English class - I completed that read right after the opening line “Call me Ishmael”. There are 4 other people reading this blog this week that were actually in that 12th grade English class and I am pretty sure all but one of us never got to the introduction of Queequeg.
God bless Chalmers and Steve! Thank you for this blog and your tireless efforts in bringing safe water to so many Ghanaians.
