Traveling at its finest!

I find myself sitting with some of the people that I hold dear to my heart. An 11 hour lay-over in London-Heathrow can be quite fun I find. From watching Matt try not to fall asleep (his head was pivoting on his neck, slowly rolling and gaining speed then slowing, then reversing and repeating) to having the waiter practically order the food for me, European airports can be quite the place for excitement.

Some would wonder why I don't just stay in London rather than board a plane for my next destination; the ones who know me would know exactly why. I am on my way to Nairobi, Kenya for a life changing experience.

So far, San Antonio to Chicago, I sat next to a stranger in the very last row. Chicago to London Kyle had the same seat as a woman next to me. Kyle got a new seat in another section which he gave to the woman. WHile he was carrying her bags (that was the agreement the two had made), we gave his seat to someone who would've had to sit in the middle of Tyler and I in the center of 5 seats. Fun night! Kyle gave Chris half of a perscription sleep aid and he was out like a light! We had fun taking random pictures with Tyler messing with his beard and sticking random things in his pockets.

Soon, in about 2 hours, we will board flight 0101 to Nairobi and pass out. I have no idea who I'm seated next with and am looking forward to a comfortable trip, if that's possible.

I love British accents, but I feel like a rude and ignorant person in this airport (how ironic!). I hope Kenya and the day in London on the way back will be better.
