Off to Kenya...

yes, we are off on yet another adventure. This time to Kenya. We're going to be working in a school and an orphanage in Mombasa, Kenya. Project details here http://www.gvi.co.uk/projects/africa/kenya/volunteer-kenya-orphanage-children/home

This time around we're mixed with emotions - nervousness and excitement. This is the 1st time I am embarking on a trip where I have booked my 1st night hotel reservation via SMS, with no written reservation confirmation. The hotel proprietor seems to not know how to use email. He tells me that he has a room reserved for me, but didnt need my name or contact details to make the reservation. He's also promised to pick us up at the airport, but didnt want to know our flight number..?!?!

I think we're going to be in for a few cultural surprises on this trip. We're taking an open mind....
