Details Details

Yesterday afternoon, in the process of going over flight details and selecting seats, we discover that the first leg of our journey, from JFK to Amsterdam, is canceled. The flight no longer exists. No one offers a reason; don't know if volcanic ash and overbooked flights are a factor or not. After an hour or more on the phone, a new flight is confirmed, on a new airline and departing 3 hours earlier. Details.

After a lengthy conversation with Verizon Wireless support services, shifting SIM cards, coordinating international calling and data plans, it appears we are electronically prepared for Africa. I should be able to stay in touch no matter where my daughter leads me. As an aside, the Verizon representative was patient, kept a sense of humor, and was extremely helpful. Details.

I've begun malaria medication. Received too many shots! Purchased an extra camera battery (it's charging) and memory card. Laundry. Packing. Details. Details.
