I would love to tell you all about how awesome Cameroon is, buuuuut we missed our connection! Our flight was scheduled to leave JFK at 6:30pm, but due to lightning, rain, and runway traffic, we didn't takeoff until about 9pm. We got to Brussels at 10:10, right when boarding had ended, and the airline decided that they didn't have enough time to load all of our baggage onto the plane to Yaounde. After 3 hours all 50 of us finally had all of our baggage and we headed over to the hotel (arranged by American Airlines).
It's a bummer that we're not in Cameroon, but it is nice to have this break between flights, relax in a nice hotel, and even work out in a fitness room (likely for the last time for the next 2 years). Tomorrow we wake up bright and early to make our new flight, this time to Douala (east of Yaounde) at 10:30am. Since we still have serious PC business in Yaounde (i.e. pre-training and meeting the staff) we'll have to take and 8 hour bus ride from Douala to Yaounde, so it's going to be a loooooong day (of sitting on our butts).
Hopefully the next time I post it will be from the planned location!
