Farewell January 26th

Oma and Tineke took me to the airport. We left at 4.30. I was sad to say goodbye but I will see Tineke in about 6 weeks.

Once I got to the check-in I was told I was 6 kilo's overweight and it would cost me 130 euros! So I took Lizzie's locks, earrings and books out and put as much as I could in my computer bags. Just hope the seals hold. First plane was delayed but so was the second. Thankfully I have a lot of time in Miami

In Miami I was patiently waiting for my suitcases as I was told that 5 had to pick them up there. At some stage I discovered they were send to Kingston. Miami was the airport of hell, long waiting lines everywhere and I was shipped through many scrutinizing searches and nearly missed my plane.

What was nice in Kingston was the many different cultures and it was warm, the good old fans doing their job while people patiently waited.. However one of my bags was missing. Oh dear more form filling more up and down but finally I got out and Mahlon was waiting for me. What a relieve to find some one I knew.

Not long before the first potholes and rivers rather then road but most of the journey was along the coast and I could imaging how beautiful it looked during the day. Windows open and the warm, humid air and smells all so familiar. Also a beautiful star filled sky with sounds of crickets.

Emily and Demus put me up in one of the cottages. The next morning I could not believe my eyes, beautiful turquiose sea and bright blue sky!
