On the way from Joberg to Addis Ababa, the pilot announced that we were diverting to the airport in Rwanda to pick up 35 passengers that were stranded there when their plane had a bird strike their engine. Of course, this caused us to miss our connection to Washington DC.
To our surprise and delight, Ethiopean Airlines has personnel available to rebook us and expedite boarding a flight that took us to Brussels (after stopping in Paris) and we are now waiting for a flight directly to Chicago. We should arrive only a few hours later than originally scheduled, but with one fewer transfer. If our one checked bag show up in Chicago with us, it will be perfect.
We never thought we would find ourselves in Rwanda, but we are "counting" this as one of the countries we've been in.
Almost home!
