Arrived! Well... Sort of

Jamilyn is now in her hotel in Kampala.  And even though it's only 2 in the afternoon there, she's ready for bed.  (Slacker, anyone?)

My hat's off to her, though.  I certainly couldn't survive three flights over two days, an 11-hour layover in London, a ride (cab, motorcycle, or camel?) from Entebbe to Kampala, and still have the where-with-all to find the business center in the hotel and check my email - all without sleep!

So it's three more days in the capital before she's whisked away to her 4-star hut in Bigodi.  In the meantime, she'll be lounging in the lap of luxury, sipping pina coladas by the pool, and cursing the dial-up access she has in the hotel.  Talk about stone ages!

Fear not, though, she will be online again Tuesday or Wednesday before her 5-hour trek across the country and thus will begin the real adventure.  The one she embarked upon three short months ago when deciding she could make a difference in the lives of so many people half-way across the world.  We love and admire your courage, Jamilyn.  We know you will be amazing, see amazing sights, and do amazing things.  Just don't forget the souvenirs!  ;)
