Trip to Cameroun
Hello Family, 7-18-05 in Paris
Well we are off to an exciting start on our way to
africa. We got on the plane in Washington DC without
being asked to pay for the excess baggage we had
checked (total of 15 pieces). On the plane we were
delayed a little while and an agent came on the plane
saying I hadn’t payed. So I had to give him my credit
card on the plane and they called it in to charge me
the correct amount. Well we sat there longer in the
airplane for another 4 hours because of “a nearby
storm” while we could see sun around us. Sounded
questionable to us. So we left Dullas late and
arrived in Paris just as our flight our of Paris was
leaving. We then waited in Paris, in a line to get
rebooked on the next flight to Cameroon and get a
hotel for the night. Only to be reminded that, Air
France is the airline with the most frequent travel
into Cameroon, and that we would have to wait till
Wed. to leave Paris. Fortunately we did NOT have to
re-get our 15 bags of checked luggage out. This
process took many hours in all and we basically blew
the remainder of today, Monday. Tomorrow we plan on
seeing Paris on the fast tour. So we are off on our
adventure already. Im sure more will follow. Please pray that all our bags arrive safely there in Yaounde
with us. We know we are doing what God wants us to
and that is comforting in crazy times. We love you,
Greg, Aud, Sarah
