By 1am we were in airport early, but Mary Ellen had been questioned and asked for prove of the purchase of her ticket......for crying allowed......she bought her ticket in December, got robbed in Lusaka street in April and lost every credit cards and money......who would think to remember that stolen credit card number and bringing police report to travel with???.......
No matter how we tried to contact all and everyone we can think, all the air line counter was waiting for was the credit card or police report and said that Barbara and I can go, if not two of us will have to pay late fees for the next flight with Mary Ellen...you think we will leave her along......what a night......
By the day light, Chicago's mid-night, Mary Ellen's daughter had found her old statements and got the credit card number for us to book for next flight out......
No other way, we had called back to Aligus to have him send the same taxi for us and took us back to a hotel half way to Arusha.....for none agreed that three women should take taxi any where in the dark to come back to the airport again within 15 hours.....Aligus came with the taxi and with the news that his father passed away.....Old age and high blood presure, yet still a sad, sad situation.....
Back to airport again, we try not to pay much attention to the same counter people......a few young girls had nice hair dress and not shy for photoes, that was very good to pass time.....we took off, ate the food served and slept - at least tried to.....
When I woke up and saw we were about to land at Addis Ababa......interest seat I had.....look what I was seeing all the way till we landed.....
The city view...
the airport control tower.....
and were we guided by this van had the sign of "Follow Me"......
Of course, I am just joking.....
Rest of the trip back to Lusaka was uneventful....that was great....for we have had enough by now.....
