Finally returned
I just arrived back in Nairobi three hours ago and I am exhausted. Not exhausted enough to sleep I found out when I climbed into bed as soon as I got to the house. I was worried as I waited for my luggage to come out from the luggage rail that I wouldn't recognize who was picking me up and I would be lost. Forever wandering the airport helplessly crying to myself. Luckily after I initially walked past the taxi driver sent for me I spotted him. He had one of those papers with my name on it and I felt fancy that someone was sent to pick me up. I always imagined only fancy business people or rich people get picked up with those signs, always in a limousine but I guess a few regular people get picked up with those too. The taxi driver Peter was very nice and he was telling me all the fun things I should do on the weekends. Like spending two days in Mombasa or going to Hell's Gate, which I definitely want to do. At Hell's Gate he said that you can get a bike and have a guide take you around to see animals and stuff.
I left on Monday at 5:30 and landed at like 8:50 Wednesday in Nairobi. It makes it seem like I was traveling for three days when in reality it was a little over 24 hours (which is still long)! I hated leaving even though I really wanted to get back. I felt like I was missing out on so much being back home. But in reality it was probably not that much, just staring at a computer screen for two weeks. I really cant believe that I am going to really miss the funeral. No matter what decision I made I feel like I would be getting the short end of the stick, denying some part of me. Do I take more time out of my trip to Kenya even though I can hear the ticking clock of time running out on my visit? Or do I stay for two and a half more weeks at home? in that time I won't do much else besides sitting at home with my Grandma, which is fine. I hope I made the right decision in coming back. There is nothing I can do about it now. I just hope I don't regret it to much when the 27th, the day of the funeral comes around.
