We checked in online this morning - and - praise the Lord! - I was able to book extra-legroom seats by the emergency exit. As I am 6 foot 3 inches tall, that is a real bonus for an 8 1/2 hour flight. I hope I can do the same on the return trip in 11 days time. (You can book these seats before checking in - but only if you pay £50 for the seat!)
Clothes and other kit chosen.
Gifts wrapped.
Luggage packed.
Dog delivered to good friends who will care for him.
First Malarone (anti-malaria) tablets taken.
This evening we drive to a hotel in Manchester; tomorrow morning, up at 5.30 a.m., and drive to airport car park. Get the shuttle flight to Heathrow; then off on the long flight to Entebbe.
Inevitable anxieties: if the shuttle flight is delayed, we could miss the Entebbe flight! Will our hold luggage be transferred to the Entebbe flight or will it turn up in Mumbai?
Good friends are coming round this evening to pray with us; what a kind thought!
We are sure, really, that God has it all in hand, and it is all going to be a marvellous experience. But.... NO BUTS!
Thank you, Lord, that your loving hand is upon us. AMEN!
