1\/10\/11 I don’t know what happens, after several days of having my time already switched over after traveling, the insomnia hits. Without my bags I don’t have my herbal sleep remedy so I’m here, awake while all you beautiful people at home are sleeping soundly.<\/p>\n
Today is really my last day in Kampala for a few weeks I hope. I love Kampala but the quiet nature of the other smaller places is what truly brings Uganda to life for me.<\/p>\n
Yesterday I uploaded a lot of photos to my Flickr, so make sure to see what I uploaded. I did it because I don’t know if I will have a decent connection after today.<\/p>\n

My volunteers come in tonight and the fun begins and hopefully with them, my bags will arrive and all will be great with the world.<\/p>\n
I just got a txt from the airport telling me that they are hoping the bags will arrive on British Air tonight at 10:30. \u00a0So basically Brussels Air farmed my bags off on BA and now have washed their hands of them. \u00a0Nice.<\/p>\n
UPDATE 1\/11\/11 *Great number* my bags arrived intact! You won’t believe what you have to go through really. You have to climb 4 flights of stairs. Go the length of the airport outside to the security office, then you go in and give them your story and your passport they give you a visitor tag and a receipt.<\/p>\n
You go through security. You go down to the baggage area and then pass through security again and then on to the bag claim area.<\/p>\n
Then you have to take the visitor pass back up again to the security desk.<\/p>\n
I’m thankful. Very thankful.<\/p>\n
Something hilarious happened in the security office, the female guard there asked me if I was Ugandan…and asked me my surname. She asked about my middle name Kaye. Apparently there is a tribe in Uganda called the “Ki yay’s” spelled exactly the same as my name. She was dead serious when she asked me if I was Ugandan. I grabbed my face and said something funny about going through a lot of changes in the past 6 days. LOLOL We both had a good laugh. So it’s official, I’m Ugandan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
