I'm traveling to Maridi, Southern Sudan, to volunteer with NRECA, building a rural electric cooperative. This is my second volunteer stint; went to Yei, Sudan, in November of 2007.

Snowed in in Entebbe
John Padilla and I traveled on the 3rd of Dec. We were supposed to leave Entebbe at 1:45 am, but because of snow in Europe our flight was delayed 3 hours. When we arrived in Amsterdam at 10:30 am, we had already missed our connecting flights, along with most of Europe, it seems. Amsterdam was a nightmare. I got a flight out at 5:30 that night. I got the ticket at 5:00 pm and the flight was at 5:30 so I had to run. John was in line right behind me, so I do not know when he was able to get out and home to Albuquerque, as I had to go. The lines were just awful--people were getting upset and the overworked clerks were losing it My checked bag, with all my tools in it, did not arrive in Portland, but I kind of expected that. All in all, it was a great trip for me except for the flight home. I enjoyed doing the blog and hope you all enjoyed it, as well.
