Personal space was of the minimum as I flew from Pittsburgh to Detroit to Amsterdam with an accompanying headache unfortunately taking up the lion's share of the focus. The distractions of movies however have always served me well in coping with upleasant circumstances and the selection offered on the planes proved to do the trick; my favorite being the KITE RUNNER. That and a big cup of coffee in the Amsterdam airport put me in good shape for the second half.
Arriving in Tanzania I was both relieved and excited despite the weariness.
